45WC?

[Hondo 60]

I was reading an article about using a 45 WC mold.
It kinda piqued my interest.
So who makes a REASONABLY priced .452" mold?

If it matters, I wouldn't mind a DEWC

NOE has a 454-264 WC. I'm not sure what you consider reasonably priced but it's probably the most reasonably priced one out there,

45 Colt? Here's one https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1...3-45-caliber-452-diameter-225-grain-wadcutter. Dunno about "reasonably" priced though...

Along with NOE Magma Engineering make a high quality molds too.

If very inexpensive is what you're looking for Lee has an extensive line of bullet molds. They produce quality bullets at a low price.

Unlike years ago there are many choices available to us today, high quality choices.

SAECO (Redding) has a 45 wadcutter bullet mould. I have one and it works well.

Ya know, that'd probably be the smart way to go.
Get some WC bullets & see if they shoot well before buying a mold.

^^^ and in the mean time keep an eye on the net for a mold.
I found a lee 45 wadcutter mold for $20 shipped on the bay.
Or NOE makes several good ones

The problem with buying vs casting your own is often poor lube from commercial casters, unnecessarily hard bullets, and bullet to gun fit. There are a few commercial casters that use a reasonable hardness alloy and some use a decent lube, but I only have purchased bullets from one caster that allows the customer to determine the diameter. Not meant to discourage purchasing, but be aware that a too hard bullet that doesn't fit your gun will give a skewed impression of the bullet's design/performance...

The 45 Colt bullets I cast are from 20-1 alloy (or equivalent) sized to fit the cylinder throats of my gun...

20-1 is what i cast mine at also. Matts bullets will cast them for you that way also.
