One hundred each 45 Colts in 1x Armscore Precision brass . The fine NOE 454-250 SWC version of the Kieth 454424 Lyman from WW-pure at 50-50 . The lube is the left overs in the new to me lubeizer going into my own version of Darrs lube . Sized .454 late last fall cast in October. They weigh 252 gr . The charge is 10.0 Herco based on 9.0 as a max for a standard 230 jacket an 11.0 being a max load for a 260 gr jacket from the Speer #12 Ruger data . That works out the Centennial Ruger BlackHawk likes 9.5 gr of Unique with these . 7# of Herco followed me home a couple of years ago really cheap .

Looking good! 10.0gr should be perfect. I’ve always used .5gr more of herco than unique. So if your revolver likes 9.5 of unique, 10.0 of herco would be spot on.

Speed #12 says 10-11 for their 260gr jhp soni could probably go on up to 11.5:with the 252 gr cast .

Did another 200 Colts today . Star Line brass.

I have a 45 ACP reamed 45 S&W with an ACP Reamer . It seems the 45 Win Mag is just the right length dies for the taper crimp and evev the steel sizer is an improvement on the Lee set of carbide . At a min , after I shoot some , I will use the RCBS expander die cause the Lee bushing expander sucks .
