2017年6月12日 · I guess at some point six or seven years ago I'd ordered Redding dies for both .45 Colt and .454 Casull along with Lee factory crimp dies. However, the two FCD dies marked .45 Colt have different carbide ring I.D.s to the point that new Starline cases will easily fit in one but can't be pushed by hand into the other.

2015年11月1日 · I've been reloading .45 Colt and am using the brass left over from before I reloaded. I have about 250 cases. A typical day at the range will be 50-70 rounds shot. Once home, I wet tumble, dry, then reload the used cases. I almost never have any cases that aren't reloaded. This has been...

2018年4月21日 · For my CAS Black Powder loads in 45 Colt, 45 Schofield, 44-40, 44 Russian, and 38-40 I load Big Lube bullets that have a huge lube groove filled with Black Powder compatible lube. I only shoot Round Nose Flat Point bullets is CAS. For 38 Special I prefer 158 grain semi-wadcutters. As far as I'm concerned, jacket bullets are for semi-autos.

2004年2月21日 · Gents, I know in a 44 and 357 lever action one can use 44 and 38 special ammo. Is there a magnum caliber 45 lever gun for which 45 Colt would be a useable short round? One in 454 perhaps? Pardon my ignorance on this subject as I am mainly into semi-autos. I was admiring a friends...

2008年1月13日 · Hello, I am looking for some good home defense loads for my .45 long colt. I pretty much have a few choices below but please recommend what you think...

2011年2月7日 · on some of my brass for .45 long colt there is a groove about 3/8 in from the mouth of the case, about where the base of the bullet will be, why is it there?

2008年7月24日 · I recently purchased a pair of USFA SAA revolvers in .45 Colt but realize that they're not suitable for shooting loads intended for Blackhawks, Redhawks and T/Cs. I also purchased a Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited rifle in .45 Colt and it's my understanding that I can shoot loads with 30,000 psi...

2020年7月3日 · I decided to load up some .32 S&W Long target ammo today for the new SP101 in .327. I can normally crank out about 200 rounds an hour of .45 Colt or .45 ACP using my Lee Classic Turret Press, but today was a chore in so many ways. In fact, it has probably been decades since I have loaded...

2019年7月8日 · It's really not that deep. The FBI determined the range of penetration and the ammo designers tailored bullets to expand at this depth. So they all basically work the same, more or less, within a bullet design. Sure, in gel, a .40 might go a little deeper or expand a few hundreths more but...
