For you folks that load .45 ACP, I would like you to look at these measurements and give me some input as to what you think.
I am not having any problems with these cartridges cycling through my Colt Gold Cup, but just want your opinion if these measurements look satisfactory.
Bullet is Bear Creek poly-coated 230gr lead RN.
Cases are various once-fired.
Dies are Lee and using the Lee Factory Crimp Die (FCD) for final crimp.
Thank's
Ron

After Seating: . .. .473" (obviously, the bullet expands the case somewhat)
After Crimping: .. .470" (measured right at the very mouth edge of the case)
