Bullets for 3-4C each would be great!
I already loaded a 250 gr cast bullet to go around 930 fps. It does kick a lot more than the regular 45 Colt cowboy style loads I use for target practicing....
So what would be recomended the cheapest jacketed bullet between 250 & 300 grains ?
I'm paying around 40 C each right now.
Gaawwd,
Why do I always pick up cheap hobbies? Next time I'll take up knitting or bird watching!
I'm about to start reloading for 454 Casull and am looking for suitable bullets for target practicing and to get used to the heavier recoil. So I don't want to load them to light. The only thing the...
Woow,
Cases shrink? What kind of cases were they?
Ok,
When I get more cases and a better feel for the process I'll get a drill.
Thanks!
I don't think the casull die has a ball expander. They look the same as the 45 dies. Unless of course they both have it. Can't see no ball in there though... Don't know why I didn't use lube on the...

I also have a set of 454 casull cases that I've...

Ok,
Both loads as described in the original post were used and it went well. I figured it was safe since the jacketed bullet was listed for the lower load. And i started out with the min load for...
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...

Yup,
Got myself a manual, Lyman's 48th edition. It seems to have some 130 pages with general reloading info.
I'll be back!
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...
