Wise Me Up on .45 Por Favor

[RockIsland]

S&B and Geco is some of the cleanest and most accurate .45 ammo. It's also some of the cheapest.

$250/1,000 rounds right about now.

Never had a problem with Blazer Brass either.

Wish I could help, but I'm not familiar with the 45 Por Favor. Is that a new wildcat cartridge? Short magnum?

It's the preferred variant of .45 acp when one is using Mexican carry.

I use 200 grn cast lead bullets from DucatiRon's Steel Valley Casting for practice, 230 grn for carry. I like Bullseye powder.

I have s Dillion 550 and its a great unit. Reload SPP and LPP no problem changing primer bar. The big difference I see in SPP and LPP is that most guys give me back my SPP brass. Ammo prices are down. If you look brass ammo can be had for around $.30/round shipped delivered to my front door. I use primarily Titegroup but have used Clays and 700X. Titegroup meters very well and loads dont vary more that 0.1 grain in my Dillion. Use X-treme 230 TMJ. I have good luck with them. Targetsportusa.com is good place to buy from. One thing for sure with the 45ACP you have a million choices of guns, ammo, powder and bullets.

Having bought my first .45 I need to gather up some ammo for it. I am about clueless on the ammo other than what my quick research has revealed and that is that it looks like 230Gr is pretty popular and I'm seeing prices from about $.30/round on up. I'm looking for target practice ammo and want to hear what you like and dislike and why. Oaks gun show is upon us and I'll certainly be looking for some while I'm there.

My go to back when I carried and practiced with a 45 acp was the 230 gr ball.

I normally reloaded with Unique. Burns dirty but it's a good powder.

I have a Dillon 550 pretty much set up and it came with a quick change setup for .45 as well so once I get it figured out I will reload them. Some of them are small pistol primed? How can one tell what size it's primed with when buying the stuff? That sounds like a reloading dilemma sorting them out.

Ain't tough to tell them apart. Me, I never bothered with small primer rounds. If I saw them I gave them to others.

I would be concerned about load development. I do not know enough about whether a load developed for large primer would be different for small primer. I would not take the chance without developing one for each size of primer. If they turn out to the same, fine.

I was looking around and it seems that most .45 are LPP and I didn't see any CCI .45 if it was there. I scored a box (500) of Remington UMC for $140 OTD. That and S&B are all over the place within about $5 of each other. I just opted to go with the Remington because it's made in USA #MAGA.
