Hello Daryl_S

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, they are Speer. These are pretty old and I don't think the jacket is very thick. Regardless, they swaged easily to .462 dia. As far as pressures go, there was no difference in pressure, AND, no difference in velocity, which was my goal. I'm thinking I might have to go even bigger in dia.

As far as molds go, I have over 225 molds and no less than 27 in 45 cal. But, I don't care to mess with bare lead bullets because there is a slight roughness in the first 3" of the barrel. Paper Patch and jacketed bullets have worked just fine, but I expect I may have leading issues with bare lead.

As far as expansion goes, these were only to test the increase in dia. I intend to swage my own once I'm satisfied they work. Or, I just might go back and test some more with paper-patch.
