I am brand new to casting. A good friend gave me all of his late father in law's casting equipment. Included in this prize was a collection of 19 different moulds. He had placed labels on the end of each mould box to describe the mould. He described 452460 as a 200 gr SWC for the 45 ACP, no problem this matches what I see in the catalogs. His label on 452490 describes it as a 230 gr SWC for the 45 ACP; this is not what I see in the catalogs.
1) These mould are old. Is it possible Lyman has different mould carrying the same number.
2) I have loaded 255 gr commercial cast SWCs (sized .452) for my RBH and Vauqero's with great results. What do you experts think about using the above 200 and/or 230 gr SWCs in my 45 Colt revolvers?
Thanks,
