Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 One of my friends got a Thunderer in 45 Colt--as this rifle was never designed for the 45 Colt it requires a certain shape bullet for successful loadingHe does buy commercially loaded ammo that works and wants me to cast that shape--I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS!Picture shows it to the right of a Lee 255 gr RNFP It is 250 grains and must be coated as there are no lube grooves. Weight could be lower as long a nose matches Lube grooves or not either would be fine as long as nose matches. I powder coat so grooves are optionalfrom the pic you can see it has a different radius and smaller meplat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Ranger , check out Accurate Molds from Salt Lake City. If you don't see one in his catalog that would work for you , he will build one to your specs. Excellent molds , can be had in iron , aluminum , or brass. Worth a look , Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
