    .45 ACP Hodgdon Universal

    Not a problem as I still have gear rolling in. Got my Lee Hand Press and Dies in the other day. Deprimed/Resized all of the brass, I love the hand press!!! I don't have a dedicated area for a press so this was my best option. I tell you guys if you've never wet tumbled with a Rock tumbler and...

    .45 ACP Hodgdon Universal

    Walkalong, That's where reloading gets precarious for me when I see data that can be "misinterpreted". The quote below is direct from Hodgdon based on the same specs I provided here. In this mans humble opinion I have trouble reconciling that data to what I have read. Of course as Dennis...

    .45 ACP Hodgdon Universal

    12Bravo, That was my thought process as well. When I first got the Universal I was worried I should have waited and gotten Tite-Group. After further research and help from the forum I feel much better about Universal and I am looking forward to using it. My gear will be here in a week so it...

    .45 ACP Hodgdon Universal

    These are strictly for target / recreation. I have not ventured into competition shooting at this time. For now I leave the self defense ammo to the experts. My goal with reloading is to be able to safe money, learn a new hobby / obsession and be able to shoot more. Great advice guys keep it...

    .45 ACP Hodgdon Universal

    Alright guys I am getting started in reloading only to find out obtaining powder is like winning the lottery. I was able to get my hands on some Universal by Hodgdon and to my surprise the data available for .45 ACP is not as good as with other powders. I plan on shooting a 230GR Berrys Plated...
