    45 colt loads in 1100-1200 range

    Heavy Loads In 45 Colt Based on my experience you will never easily get those velocities from jacketed bullets. Too much friction. A jacketed bullet has no advantages in this cartridge that I have ever seen. Cast bullets are the way to go for the 45 Colt especially in the 1000 fps+ range. As...

    Automatic Transmission Fluid?

    ATF Like several others have google Ed's Red. Make it to the recipe for a cleaner and protectant. Follow his recipe for oil. Unbelieveably inexpensive. You won't go back to anything else. The carbon in and on AR15s dissolves immediately. The only other solution you'll need is a solvent for...

    1918 1911 question

    M1911 Be cautious of the web. These pistols are almost impossible to wear out. Google military testing of the M1911. The endurance tests are amazing. There is also a story concerning John M.

    Dillon Super 1050 and Autodrive?

    Rl 1050 Changing calibers on the 1000/1050 is a 30 to 45 minute operation. I agree that it is not for small batches; 300 to 500 minimum. They are not for load development either. You need to have all that settled too. One of the best uses of my 1000 is to use the Dillon electric trimmer/sizer...
