Allot of Colt 455 Eleys were rechambered..
I have a 452423 FX bullet mold. We discussed it years ago, long story short it is a 452423 that was cut deeper in the block for a bullet of around 275gr. it would be perfect for a short cylinder New Service .45 colt, or a FA 97.
I have shot several hundred of them, it is a good shooting bullet.
