Tapered Styled Bullets Have Front Band Near Bore Diameter Tapering to Slightly Larger Than Groove Diameter. This Style Bullet was Furnished By Most Of The Old Time Barrel Makers Such As Harry Pope.This Is A Popular Schuetzen Style Bullet With Rounded Libe Grooves.

All SAECO moulds are machined from solid cast
iron blocks one cavity at a time. Using the same
cutting tool (cherrie) for each cavity on digital equipment
guarantees that each cavity duplicates the previous one. You
don’t need to pay a premium for matched cavities. SAECO even developed
its own blend of copper alloyed pearlitic cast iron for tight grain structure,
dimensional stability and extended life. The steel sprue plates are held firm against the mould blocks by high-temperature spring washers to insure uniform bullets with square bases.

Mould handles sold separate are ductile iron castings with solid hardwood grips. They are sold separately and fit all saeco bullet molds.


The bullet diameters and weights presented in this list
are based on the use of Taracorp’s Lawrence Magnum
bullet alloy (2% tin, 6% antimony, 1/4% arsenic,
91.75% lead).
Bullet diameters and weights will vary considerably
depending on the lead casting alloy used. This variation
can be as much as 1/2% on the diameter, and 8% on
the weight among the most commonly used casting
alloys. For example, a .358-158 grain bullet might
show a diameter variation of .002", and a 13 grain difference
in weight.
Of the most commonly used alloys, wheel weights (.5%
tin, 4% antimony, 95% lead) will produce bullets having
the smallest diameter and heaviest weight, with
such bullets running approximately 1/3% smaller in
diameter and 3% heavier than bullets cast with
Taracorp's metal. Linotype will produce bullets with the
largest diameter and lightest weights. This alloy will
produce bullets approximately 1/10% larger and 3%
lighter than Taracorp. Other alloys of tin and antimony,
with antimony content above 5%, will produce bullets
with diameters and weights falling between those cast
from wheel weights and linotype.
Alloys containing little or no antimony will cast considerably
smaller than wheel weights and in some cases
will produce bullets too small for adequate sizing.
Within the limitations given above, the weight and
diameter of a cast bullet can be adjusted by varying the
alloy’s antimony content.
The size and weight of bullets of a given alloy will also
vary according to casting temperature. Higher temperatures
will result in greater shrinkage as the bullet
cools, thereby producing a slightly smaller and lighter
bullet than one cast of the same alloy at a lower temperature.Gas Checks
SAECO has adopted the tapered form of gas check
heel to minimize problems encountered with the use
of various alloys and gas checks. SAECO bullets are
designed to properly maintain the gas checks when
cast with Lawrence Magnum Bullet Metal or linotype.
Alloys producing smaller diameters may result in gas
checks not seating properly. Bullet weights listed for
gas check designs include the gas check weight.
Bevel Base Bullets
SAECO Bevel Base bullets have a slight bevel at the
base of the bullet. This bevel helps guide the bullet
into the cartridge case. A benefit of using bevel base
bullets is that the case will require minimal bellmouthing,
and have a longer case life. Bevel base
bullets are of course easier to seat
