So one of my favorite moulds for 45 Colt and 45 ACP is the Lyman 452389. It is a 185 gr button-nose wadcutter design some bullseye shooters used in the past. I'm not sure how it was developed or by whom, but I use it in a convertible Ruger with several different powders in both ACP and Colt cylinders.
I might add the late (and sorely missed) Felix Robbins recommended 700-X in ACP loads, but I've had GREAT success using 4227 in 45 Colt.
Anyone else out there use this bullet? Perhaps a few pet powders or loads?
