Greetings all. Long time lurker, first time poster. About 15 years ago I learned to reload - put it away - now I'm trying to get back into it. I decided to (re)learn on revolver ammo, since it's a bit more forgiving. So I'm doing 45 Colt for my Uberti Frontier.
The recipe calls for 6 to 7 grains of IMR 4227. That's a tiny bit of powder in a fairly large, otherwise empty shell. If you've loaded 45 Colt, is this your experience (little powder / lot of air) or am I doing something wrong? It seems to me that all the air in the case plus random powder distribution (e.g. could be a clump, or spread down the length of the case) would cause inconsistent ignition. I'm hesitant to proceed without hearing your experience. Thanks.
