Does any company have a hollow-base mold for a .454 flat-nose bullet weighing between 220 - 255 grains? Ideally I'd like to find a Keith-style SWC mold in .454.
Elmer designed a hollow based bullet for the 44 but not for the 45.
Elmer designed the 429421 for the 44 Special/Magnum. He also designed the 429422, a hollow based version, for the same cartidges. He did not design a HB mold for the 45.Was that the Rapine 454252?

I forgot about the Rapine molds. 454253 and 454155 were both HB designs for the 45 caliber revolvers.
It works,I've drilled a few out to test them on targets,but it's more work then it's worth IMHO,but if you were going to use them for hunting it would be worth it.Could you achieve the desired result by drilling out the base of an ordinary bullet? Just a thought.
That may have to be the way I go. I certainly appreciate all the responses.It works,I've drilled a few out to test them on targets,but it's more work then it's worth IMHO,but if you were going to use them for hunting it would be worth it.
