I found an old Lyman 452374AV bullet mold in my reloading stash,I cast about 200 yesterday and it makes a nice looking bullet.I am not sure but I think it is a 225 grain bullet.Anybody know for sure the weight?

Will depend on pour and mold temps, alloy mix, and wear....

Pour ten, and weigh and average.

Throw one on your powder scale and weigh it.

My old Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook says it's supposed to be 225 made from #2 alloy.

Yeah, weigh it. You got to have a scale. I weigh a few from each batch. They are seldom perfect.

That is the best 45 ACP RN bullet you can cast for general purpose use. It is 225 grains, my mold has casted tens of thousands of them and is still going strong. It seems heavier than it did 35 yeas ago when I bought it....
