I shoot .449 540 grain bullets from Buffalo Arms. Buffalo Arms sells almost anything you need for your rifle. Check them out on the web.
There is an anomaly here with regard to the bullet produced by the mould .
I see you draw your information from Midway , however an examination of the Lyman website and indeed the Lyamn 2019 catalogue state that the 457121 PH is .45
My own experience is that this bullet comes out of the mould at .45 with pure lead and I use them without resizing.
Obviously you only use bullets from the middle of the casting run and weigh them keeping only those within + or - a grain of the desired weight .
Doesn't help the original poster but , after being puzzled by this and then eventually buying my mould direct from Lyman , I feel it's better to get one's info straight from the source
Perhaps that explains the PH after the bullet number 457121 ?
I see that Lyman no longer lists a 457121 under rifle moulds , they do list the 457121PH under blackpowder moulds [ page 44 of catalogue ] and describe as a .45 .
