That looks like a very sensible design Joe. What alloy do you use may I ask? What size does your mould drop?
I was considering trying the #8 180 gr Cowboy bullet from Missouri bullet. It looks very close to the Accurate 45-180D.
Just when I wanted to cut down on moulds, this new project comes up!
What dies do you use for bullet seating and crimping Captain?
Also, if anyone cares to share bullet and loading data please shoot me a PM.
Thanks Pards

Yes, good plan on the lightweights. I cast my own, so I would need a mould. The throats were reamed on the Rugers, so .454" bullets work best.
I will try the trimmer and see how it goes.
Any advice?
Trim dies are pricey and require an extended shellholder. I am blessed to have a Lyman power case trimmer though.....
I may only make 2-300 and only for Ruger pistols. We'll probably use 200-230 gr .454" bullets with Red Dot or 700x.
Thanks
Hans
