Best brass for .45lc? and hand loads for marlin?

[ragtopdog]

What do you think is the strongest .45 colt brass out there and some loads for a marlin lever action

I load some pretty hot 45 colt loads for the Blackhawk and prefer Starline brass. The price is also very reasonable at places like Midway.

Starline, Winchester and Remington are all good and there is usually less than $1/100 between them. I've all 3 brands with 20+ loadings and am only now starting to get an occassional split neck. I'm running it all through a Vaquero, a Puma 92 and Win 94 with no problems or complaints.

I have quite a few Starline .45 Colt cases. Some of them have been reloaded at least 10 times, possibly more. I would say they hold up quite well.

Starline is excellent.
I have also had pretty good luck with PMC brass.

If you can get them to feed, a Keith 250 semi wadcutter in front of 9 grains of Unique will be safe and powerful in your Marlin rifle.

I was thinking of 2400 22 grn. over a 250 grn kieth hard cast lead. works well in my 7.5 ruger blackhawk 1320 fps. I just wonder if the marlin can take the same. want a good load for wild pigs out to 150 yds. and your thoughts?
