this was going to happen sooner or later, but he greatly helped in making it much sooner rather than a lot later.
these are just the first handful of 45 colt reloads.....black powder on top of that(charlie helped in that matter)!!
i'm going to do 50 or so.....i should do the whole 100 after this past weekend, but i need a little confidence builder first before i possible waste a bunch of stuff......but you can't, or rather would have to try to mess up bp cartridge loads.
for those that care, they're a 250 gr flat point lead round nose over about 30grs of 3f goex.

god i'am dieing to get my hands on 45auto dies.

thanks man.

if you really need a set of .45 ACP dies I have a set of lees I could get rid of.

You're welcome brian.
It looks like this weekend will hold favorable weather for load testing.

As far as the Lee dies that lethal93ta just mentioned, I'd be on them like stink on poop with one exception. If I'm not mistaken, you told me that you ordered a set of 45 ACP dies. If they'll let you cancel the order and refund your money you're good to go.
Lee makes good tools and Lethal is a good guy, you can't go wrong with the deal.

But wait! It's all good! Don't cancel the order!! I just had a moment of clarity in my thought process.

If you end up with 2 sets of dies it's no problem. Bender, Fr0sty and Dextrimental are looking to start reloading in the near future and if my memory isn't too far off tonight, 45 ACP is on everyone's list. You'll not have a problem getting rid of your extra set if you do end up with two.

Heck, maybe we could start a co-op and share some tools and equipment to save some $$.

if anyone needs anything I have here there more than welcome to come over and use it. with that thompson you might even want to use my LNL progressive press to knock some rounds out. I can do around 400 rounds in an hour when I get into the grove of things.

if you have a set on order thats fine. if you just need a set of dies for a little till you get yours you can barrow them if you want, I seen your going to the jonestown this weekend for a shoot, if you want I can try to make it there to drop them off.

My little stock Ive been working on 5000 .22cal hornady 55gr FMJ-BT bullets, 1000 hornady 185gr .45 bullets and 500 .30 cal hornady 150gr FMJ-BT bullets. 500 nosler 185gr .45 bullets + the odds and ends I have in the white bins there, I have some hornady SST 30 cals in there and a couple of boxs of sierra .22 cal BTW the first pic you can see the lee die kit sitting on the shelf on the right of the picture in the round case.
