It has been a long year for me I am just getting bacl after being laid off, retiring, and moving. YUCK!

Anyway before my year of fun started I made contact with someone in CO who makes molds for .45-75 WCF I have lost the contact information.
Do any of you know a custom mold maker thqt lives in CO.

I think he is from Montrose but I cannot recall his name right now.

Does a .45-75 need a special boolit? If not, then there are many mold makers for selecting .45 rifle boolits.

Dave Farmer of Colorado Shooters Supply at Montrose Colorado is the one I remember.

I think Lee makes .45-70 molds, I've had really awesome results with Lee molds. Great product at a pretty fair price!

I like the Lyman moulds for my 45-70 also have a old Saeco 535 grain for my Sharps.

.45-75 wcf

The .45-75 WCF uses a 350 gr bullet, any bigger and you run into feeding problems any lighter and you lose some power. I am using 325 Lyman mould now but want try the stock size bullet. I recall the guy in CO molds were very reasonable price and had large grease grooves for use with Holy BP.

i had the same problem with my 1883 model 1876 in 45-60, here is the man i get my bullets from , 350gr .457-.458. i,m sure he would sent you samples to try for the postage. they shoot quite well with imr4198. eastbank.
