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,

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...

Up until now I've reloaded and fired a set of 45 Colt cases 3 times. The case length for these vary 3/1000 " at the most. This is Remington brass.

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

Does anyone have any input on using a die to trim the cases to length vs using a lathe like case trimming tool?

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...
