Mold options?

I'm using a Lee Aluminum 2 cavity mold for a 200 grain LSWC .452 Diameter. It doesn't have a very broad shoulder so it tears paper a bit instead of a perfect hole punch like bullet hole in the paper. What other mold could I get into thats not so expensive but still produces a quality bullet. The Lee shoots accurate enough. Just not a good impact on paper.

define expensive.

if you keep an eye on eBay you can find some older Saeco molds that are great.. the #68 and #69 are great 200 grain bullets.

I have quite a few of the saeco 4 cavities that have been terrific over the years.

I've only shot swaged bullets at longer ranges.  I have the Lee 200gr SWC 6-cavity mold and like how it shoots a lot at shorter ranges.  

Can I suggest you look at the NOE offerings for something else similar to the H&G 68 mold?

Once you find something you like, there is a sub-forum on the Cast Boolits website where you can beg for a few of a particular design bullet to see if your pistol likes them:

If it shoots well, don't worry about what the holes look like, just where they're placed on target. 

I use the H&G 130 for 50' and 25 yard lines. they tear a horrible hole instead of punching a nice clean cut hole.  But they shoot very well at those distances so I let the scorer worry about it.

When you blow out a 10 ring size hole from the backer all bullets tear the target.

Al,  Do you have a special seating die for the H&G 130 bullets you load? - or do you use the RN or SWC seat die?
thanks, Russ

Russ,
Just the SWC end of the Dillon 45 seater. Nothing special or exotic.

I just have to change it about 1/2 turn when I load H&G 68's.

Shoulder contact seating dies are out there & work great.  One less thing for me to forget.

I like Accurate molds, he makes what size you want (.452, 453, 454, etc. Also, he makes them in flat, or bevel base, I like FB bullets.

I have a 185 that is on the H&G 68 design (a longer nose than the 130). Here is a link: http://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=45-185A-D.png   

I have an original H&G 130 mold that doesn't get much use.   I have had a few that didn't feed, and never a problem with the above bullet.

I used a lot of Lee 200gr SWC. With 5gr Bullseye it leaves a nice crisp cut hole.
