45 Colt 255gr SWC

[hamourkiller]

I picked up a 5 cavity 255gr Keith SWC mold from NOE last year. Cast using range lead and 2.5% tin.

Sized to .454 and lubed with 50/50 bees wax/Alox.

Starline cases, CCI LP primers, Unique @ 8.5 grs.

Shot in my S&W 25-5.

It was the most accurate load I have ever shot out of this revolver! I was very impressed! The RCBS 255gr Keith never shot this well.

Noe has some extra molds from the group buy (2 cavity) if you are interested. I strongly recomend the bullet and maker.

I too found the 255 grain SWC accurate in my Model 1937 .45acp. I only bought 100 of these from Black River and when I shot those up in testing I found that Black River had discontinued the bullet. Too bad, I was going to try it in my Model 22-4. I may try another source. I no longer cast due to health reasons, so I am down to buying. James
