Even newer reloader looking for advice
Hi,
I want to start reloading. But I pretty much don't know anything about it. Steps involved, equipment needed, ...
Since you guys seem to be a knowledgeable bunch, wouldn't this be a good place for that?
Or at least to have references to litterature and instructional videos.
Can anyone recommend a good video or book on this?
Thanks a whole bunch!
Different max loads for 45 Colt w same weight bullets,
I am confused,
I'm looking at reloading data from different manuals. Same weight bullets have totally different min and max loads.
For instance with a Speer cast bullet, 45 L-SWC with Alliant Unique powder, min load 8.6 grains and max load is 9.5 grains. Muzzle velocity 891-941 fps. With a Hornandy bullet 45200 HP-XTP min is 6.2 and max is 7.1. Velocity 600-800 fps. Also with the Unique powder. Both bullets are 250 grains.
How can the min/max loads be so different?
Thanks for any info!
