IDEAL 454309

[Ben]

Some time ago, I bought a 454309 single cav. IDEAL mould.
When I bought my Smith 625 45 ACP, I decided to also order 500 Starline , 45 Auto Rim cases.
The 45 Auto Rim Brass arrived today.
The 454309 drops from the mould at .455" and is sized to .452 ".
I hope that it will work well in the Auto Rim.
I plan to find out.

Might be tuff keeping Trevor supplied with a single cavity lol! Love that Smith!

Ben, That bullet looks like an overweight button nosed wadcutter. I would say that should be a very accurate bullet.
Is that a crimp groove under the front driving band? If so I have an old lyman 162 grain 357 that looks like the same crimp set up. Can not remember the mold number, but with that much bearing surface it should work great.
We'll be waiting on Trevor's range test.

Yes, the bullet has a crimp groove.
