Lyman #457122 HP
« on: August 23, 2006, 04:18:26 PM »
I am finding three differnt weights for the same bullet. I must be missing something, tell me what you think:

The Cast lead bullet for the 45-70 which is listed on their available bullet molds as #457122 single cavity hollow point with a weight of 330 grains. Their loading manual says the weight is 322 grains. The bullets I have which were cast from the Mold listed above and are sized and lubricated weigh real close to 350 grains

I know what you mean. The weights advertised are for different alloys Lyman #2 is about 330 gns. Yours lubed at 350 are as close to mine as I've seen. They're death on deer.
