I have lots of hammer spring left but I doubt adjusting it down on a 3k fill is going to gain much other than waiste air. the bullets aren't key holing but I can't see them from the scope recoil either. Ill try messing with the power tuner some next trip out also. I'll try .454 sizer if that doesn't work I'll sell the mold and sizer and stick with the 345gr gould bullet it shoots good enough for Nutters at 50yds and coyotes at 100 lol. I've seen Tom Gaylord shoot some real nice 100yd groups with a .457 215gr semi wadcutter. But I can't find the mold for that bullet. Air Venturi sells them at $20 for 50 but I wish to cast my own and save some money.not the same bullet as air Venturi. Tim I got some of them from PA and they shot horrible in my Texan.

Yes accurate mold 46-280A I believe. Contemplating getting it HP also. It's shooting pretty darn good sized .454 so not sure I want to risk getting it HP'd. I'm going to try 2 more .454 sizers also and sand it out to .455 and .456 and test also when I can get around to it.http://accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=46-280A-D.png
.457 frog hunting hmmm.
