So... Bought a used Ruger RH 45 Colt/45 Auto revolver. Shoots the .454 Colt RN great. Accuracy with 45 ACP is about 2-2.5x larger group. I know the 45 ACP rd has to 'jump' longer to hit the throat, but... I pinned the throats, and they are ~.4535. So figure a bit of jibber jabber down through the throat and then down the bbl (which I suspect is also large/not slugged).

Anyone have a fat 45 225-235 grn RN (or 200-235 SWC) mold that drops WW+2% at .454 they might want to part with?

Expect I will also try a 20:1/30:1/40:1 alloy just to see if it will bump up and fill the throat, all else fails...

I think I still have a 6x Lee 230 tc with regular lube groove that runs about .455" and been cast with once. I got it for powder coating and it was way too much to size down. Let me check tomorrow if I still have it and we can work something out.
