Anyone shooting a .45 with Bullshop conicals? Im waiting for dan to get back to me on what he has. I want something in the 300g minimum up to 400g max. and sized .453-.454"

I shoot the Bull Shops in .451 in the new White M97 and I can not complain about accuracy in the least... Underclocked had a picture showing the different conicals he offers.. that would be a good guide to help you order. Perhaps he will read this and post again that photo..

I have a .458 from Green Mountain. It seems to like bullets in the .454 range. I am making my own bullets with a lee 459-405-HB Mould. Mine pours a 385 gr hollow base bullet. I then size them to .454 and then to .451 then I paper patch them and then I size them to .454 and then again to .451
I am getting some amazing groups with these bullets. Here are a couple of groups. One was shot naked one was shot with paper.

This next picture is of three 45 cal bullets I make. The one on the left is a Lyman Whitworth bullet 475 gr. The next is the Lee 385 gr and the last is a Lee mini 300 gr. Ron

Never mind, You fixed the pics

Idaho, Do you have any of those Lee 300 Mini i could buy to try out? Say from 25 to 50? My bore measures .452 Land and a .461 Groove. Do you think those would fit snug in the bore? The great plains pretty much fell down the bore with the weight of the ramrod and i did not like that at all.

PM me if you'd like to sell me some of those mini's.

I don't have that many made right now. I do have 12 that are as poured .454 the weight is 315 because the lead was very soft. I don't plan on making any for a while. You can have these if you want to try them. Ron

I'd love to try them out if you dont mind. I'll PM you with my address.

I sent a PM, I think. I am not too good at the PM thing. Ron

I don't think Bull Shop (Dan) has the LEE 457-340F mold but you could probably find someone that does and have a few made in pure then sized to .451" (or to your bore's needed diameter).

Those shotvery wellin a Knight 1:30 twist and I think they would meet any 2x criteria that might be in place (mabye, not sure).
