Ammunition & Hand Loading > Cartridge and Shotshell reloading

Anyone in the Lincoln area reload .45LC or Casull?

<< < (2/2)

unfy:
I'm pondering if to pick up some extra die sets.  45Colt would definitely be in the list, dunno about 454Cas.

This begs the question... 45colt and 454cas have the same bullet diameter (both should be sized 0.452 when dealing with jacketed rounds).

You mentioned that the bullet's been cast, has it also been sized as well ?  If we size it, you'll prolly wanna rebuff it as well.

huskerbrewdad:
It wasnt actually cast as silver shrinks at a different ratio than lead.  I got a larger casting and essentially polished/ ground it down until it just barely slides into the used casing.

unfy:
Just a heads up - no hand loader will touch it / make a live round out of it if it's not sized properly due to being possibly dangerous etc.

It needs to be 0.452 inches in diameter.
