Like the sound of a lumpy big block

I have a Saeco #453 mould (45 cal, 230 gr WC) and a Saeco #944 mould (44 cal, 200 gr WC). I like to shoot the large diameter wadcutters.

I know. The magic expanding bullets, that are only available in 9mm, make the teeny-weeny europellet a devastating death-ray and that is why the FBI uses it, not because that’s as much as little ladies and persons of indeterminate gender can handle.

Not suggesting the FBI adopt revolvers in 45LC :p Nevertheless, 250 grs 45 cal wad cutters (these from Matt’s Bullets) offer significant displacement and make big holes. That’s good.

Anyone else like wad cutters in 45?

Since you are a Matt’s guy, can you tell us what is the purpose of cast spire points? I load them because they look cool, but there must be another reason Matt makes them

I haven’t the foggiest idea. I’ve never seen them. Had to look them up on the website. Write up says “These bullets were designed for maximum penetration. However, they also cut nice holes in paper…”
 
I don't have any pictures of my loads, but I have been using the 350 grain Lee .500" Minie ball as a wadcutter for the .500 S&W Magnum. If I remember when I get home I'll take a picture and post it. This is the bullet:

Here we go. .500 Magnum wadcutter load, shown with a .38 wadcutter load for comparison.

I really need to have someone put together a Redhawk in .50 Special. I just love the gigantic bullets, but have no need for the Magnum horsepower.
