Hi everyone,
I’m a new member here, live in the Cincinnati area. I’ve been reloading 9mm for awhile with plated and jacketed bullets. I’m moving up to 45 acp now and was searching for bullets and made a bad purchase I think. Wideners had what they were describing as “mixed .451” bullets” the pic showed a mixed bag of plated and jacketed bullets. Well what showed up was 500 x 230gr uncoated lead NLG RN bullets.
My question is what do I need to do to use these things? I have no experience with lead bullets, how do I lube them? Can I tumble them with Alox or should I powder coat them?
I’ll be loading for plinking out of a full size Kimber 1911 which is brand new. I’ll be using HP-38 or TG powder if anyone has suggested data.
On the intro note, here’s a pic of my bench setup, my loading station clamps in my vise, sets up in seconds and can be stored when not in use.
thanks,
Aaron
