Refitting an old neglected .45 mold, one of these 210 grain semi-pointed round nose bevel base Saeco #265 that's just about as "conical" and as close to the original Colt design bullets as I'll get.

Redding/Saeco says they no longer make the parts needed and my usual sources are no help. So I found another make of sprue plate that'll work and will be scrouging some bolting.
With the bevel base and thin bands it should be pretty easy to line up and seat into place during loading.
Looking forwards to trying it out in a Walker and Dragoon.
 
They weigh 214 grains from soft lead and measure .453" diameter.
Might be a little too small of diameter for Uberti's.
