Tom - I spoke with Pietta directly. They informed me that the twist rate is not conducive to anything but round balls - it is 1 in 30. I basically figured that I didn't want to go through the hassle of casting a bunch of pure lead bullets, then having them be a disappointment, so I abandoned the idea. Sorry. --Previous Message-- : Mike I am considering trying the Rainer 200 : grain at .452 with gas check. Do you have : any updates of using your molds and the : accuracy? : : --Previous Message-- : Just got a Pietta 44 - 1858 Remington style. : I am wondering if I can use some of my 45 : cal. moulds to cast pure lead bullets for : this - I have 185, 205, 230, and 255 grain : moulds and a fair amount of pure lead. I : know for sure that 2 of these moulds casts : at .454, which is Pietta's recommended size. : Thanks in advance for your advice ! Mike : B. : : :
