I have this mould & the bullets perform as well as the 457125.

I'm pleased with both of these bullets.

Rod. :wink:

I have one but I haven't shot any of the bullets a long range.
Mine shoot very well out to 200 yards. I have heard from other shooters that it doesn't do well at longer range. They say that after 500 to 600 yards it kind of loses stability.

After reading the later posts I think maybe I gave bad advice as I have only shot mine at 300 yards.

However our range has a maximum of 300 yards :lol:

Hi Bernie, Sorry for the late reply but I have been away from the 'puter for a while.

Moulds differ but mine comes out very close to .458. This is the size of my sizing die which barely contacts the bullet surface. It just nicely shaves of the excess lube.

Rod. :wink:
