It has been over 25 years since I last loaded .45 ACP and I have forgotten which die is used first. I have an idea, but I am not sure, so I better ask.
The die set I have is "RCBS 3-die set, .45 ACP RN, Group B, No. 18905" (which I can't even find listed anywhere)
It consists of:
Size Die #1 74 (marked as such)
Decapping, and I believe expander, Die (no markings)
Seat Die #3 74 (marked as such)
Question 1:
Are the dies used in the order I listed them?
I used to reload semi-wad-cutter, lead bullets for my Colt Gold Cup Mk-IV (which I no longer have) and now plan to reload FMJ with Flat Point, Hollow Point, and RN for my H&K USP Tactical.
Question 2:
Does the "RN" after .45 ACP mean Round Nose bullets? Is it OK to use the die for Flat Point bullets? (Since I have used them for semi-wad cutters, I imagine so, but again, I better ask.)
Thanks for your help.
