Casting bullets
You'll want to slug your pistols bore first. .451 could be on the small side, I'm sorry to say.
Here are a couple of links that might help. This guy has an interesting approach. I prefer to use egg-shaped fishing sinkers. I also use oil on the slug to make it pass through the bore easier, and of course the bore must be completely clean- no copper fouling or anything.
