Well I am never normal. And these Bullets match me. Man they are short. I know I have gotten looks at the range before as they look like empty cases. And after shooting the 45acp in revolver I wanted a *Full* Wad Cutter. So years ago I found an old one about the time Ideal had swapped to Lyman name. Found a nice 4 cavity 185 grain one that no one wanted as it had one bad cavity {Cheap}
One Cavity was not so great so had a friend weld it I have a back ground in metal finishing. So fixed it up as well as the 3 cavity's were sanded. And made a felt buff to use on the air die grinder, then polished. Did so with black emery, gray emery and them white rouge like do this to most of my molds and they drop well after doing so. Lubed them up with some Red Carnuba as i get no smoke with it. And it is clean as can be seen by the 45 Colt .452" ones. Do not have a close up of the 185s. I now have the right vintage nut cracker handles instead of the New junk ones they make now
I still have some Tula primers that were on sale at Powder Valley back years ago when they had them at $18.00 and free shipping with no Haz-Mat fee
My wife says she told me buy more lol As I told her yesterday I just have 10K large pistol ones left from that buy.
The Free Keg of Red Dot and they just take 4.0 grains
Or for factory feeling 45acp loads 5.0 of WW231 is just like WW White box feel. If ya did not know better you would think there were when ya pull the trigger
But talk about good holes in paper. And the Cream Puff 4.0 Red Dot done with free lead and as mentioned Cheapo primers and gifted powder was cheaper than shooting 22lr
Do not get me wrong the 45 Colt 250 cast is a blast as well. But handing off the gun to someone to bang out like it is 22lr in the 80's with some dirt cheap ammo. Price Less {well almost}
Then one day I ordered some round follower Metal Form Magazines. Since the Colt1911 I have has had some work it was worth a try. Wow that gun feeds and eats anything.
When I think back on it O the smiles that bullet gave. Would pick up my son twice a week at the bus stop and his buddy. Guess this is one of the things that makes me not normal. Drive 10 minutes to the David Drive Shooters club when it was there. And shot at the short 3 lanes. As it was no time at all to get there from here. No one hardly shot there so had it to our self. Packed stuff up and came right home with the kids. No traffic, no bridge.
I have been looking for the 75 grain 9mm one they made like it. For the 38/9mm Revolver I have just like it. But no dice yet
But I did prep more 45 cases to load up a Ammo can of them up this weekend
