.459" 540 Grain "Money" Mini-Grease Groove 1-Cavity Cast Bullet Mould

This is a "Money" design bullet originally designed by Dan Theodore. This particular mould is of the mini grease groove style made to be used when wiping between shots only. Reduced front driving band. The mini grease groove helps make this bullet even more streamline in shape for flatter trajectory. 1.455" long with nose length of .770", the first driving band is .454". The winner of the 2010, 2012 & 2013 NRA National Creedmoor Championships used the bullets cast from this mould. The winner of the 2010 & 2013 DCRA Canadian National Championships also used this mould.

If you have a 6 land and groove barrel that has a .450" bore diameter consider the Jim459542M3.
