Nice! I cannot believe I can finally type that topic!
Ok, so I have ordered my first 1911 pistol and I want to get geared up to reload for it.
I will be using the same dies I use for everything else (Lee 4 piece pistol dies)and I am hoping that the .45ACP lends itself to cast boolits. My limited knowledge is that leading is a problem at high velocity, and that the .45ACP is a pretty low velocity.
I admitadly have not cracked open my reloading manuals to the .45ACP page yet but I read stuff
I currently cast for other lower velocity rounds like 38/357, 9mm and 7.62x39 and I have no issues with lead.
This will also be by first experience with LP primers.
Will unique and universal clays be a good powder for the .45ACP or should I consider something else?
I am excited.
