I found a 45468 Lyman mold, which casts .455 182gr hollow-base bullets with my range scrap alloy. I don't have a .45 sizing/lube die. The bullets are .455 as cast, and I tumble lubed them in Lee lube. I've decided on a starting powder charge of 4.5gr of 700X with this bullet in Starline .45 Colt cases.

I had an old pair of Herrett k-frame grips that I modified to fit the.455 HE. They don't fit exactly but they're good enough to shoot with. Now all I have to do is get to a distant range. Mine closed a year ago.
