Got Meplat?

[Fishslayer]

Powder coated .45 ACP boolits from my SAECO mold. They come out 215 gr right at .452 with some generic sort of alloy.

They shoot nice with 4.6gr of Green Dot. They fit 1911 & 4506 mags but are pretty tight in SIG P220 mags.

They make nice holes in the paper!

I've been using a 200gr RNFP "Cowboy" bullet over 5.5gr WW231. They function as good as 230 Ball. I load the same bullet in 45 Colt, over 6.7gr WW231 too. Your bullets look like a great Colt and Schofield projectile!

The red & yellow powders stick better than black. Good if ya want to color code your ammo. The black powder I bought is useless in this application.

They would make a nice powderpuff .45LC target bullet over some fast/medium powder.

Fishslayer, they look good! What method do you use to apply the powder coating to the bullets?

Tumble in a plastic bowl with black Airsoft pellets. Static makes the powder cling. Then toast at 200f for 20 minutes on a sheet of foil.

WHOA! Boy, I'll say ya do! What are those?
( Bet my 4506 would feed 'em. )

 

[stu1ritter]

The 32 S&W Long and H&R Magnum are 100 gr., the 38 Special is 158 gr. and the 44 Magnum is 215 gr. All Accurate (Accurate Molds: Custom Bullet Molds) molds.

The GOOD thing about Coated bullets is................

that you can shove that bullet deeper and put a light crimp on
the end of the bullets cylinder/wall, to where it will fit BETTER
in the SIG P220 magazine and still work.

Very nice, by the way.

I thought I'd update my meplat photo with the whole caliber collection.

I've got the same Saeco mould and even though it is marked as a 200gr bullet,mine too comes out at 215gr.My Gold Cup feeds them fine but doesn't group them as good as my Ruger Blackhawk does.
