Hornady LnL: PTX 451 or 452

[capreppy]

Purchasing parts for a Hornady LnL AP.

The Hornady PTX 451 is out of stock @ Midways USA & Midsouth Shooters supply (and pretty much any place else I have looked). Midsouth Shooters does have the Hornady PTX 452.

I am reloading .45ACP JHP's and they are all 451. 452 is generally lead based .45ACP rounds (from what I have seen).

Can I use the Hornady 452 PTX on 451 JHP bullets?
If you could point me to someone that has the Hornady 451 PTX, I'll purchase there instead.

I've started using this: http://www.powderfunnels.com/ instead trying to keep up with all the seperate Hornady PTX dies. So far for .44 mag, 9mm and .45 ACP it has worked well. I was told after I got one and used it for awhile, it won't work but it seems to work well for me. Sure glad I found out it won't work after I tried it.

I've been reading about this and if I can't find anything, this is the route I will go. I've sent an email to Hornady regarding their PTX and hopefully I can get a response. Just want to find someone that has this one piece in stock. Midway has a backorder ETA of March

The thing I most like about the Powderfunnel is I only need one for everything I load on the LNL.
