Very sad day today.
I filled the old square "U press it" can up with what is the last fill out of the 1968 12# keg of Dad's Unique when the can filled to the neck I poured the rest of what I could get out of the big can into the measure . There should be plenty there to finish out the 600 45 Auto Rim. There's maybe another 3-4 oz in the little steel drum . I'll have to fashion a tube like dust pan to get the last of it out .

I'll have to make a genuine effort now to use up that 10# of Grandpa's 1969 Red Dot in the same type of can before Arkansas eats the can .

10 pounds of red dot will take a lot of shooting to use up. Time to do some shooting.

Probably longer than the Unique ......

[JeffreyDeGraff]

Agreed. I love red dot in 45acp. But 10lbs is a lot of 45’s. You could also use it for cast plinking loads in your rifles.

It was everything Unique is claimed in 9mm . I haven't even looked at data for Red Dot in 15 years. 38/357 ,9mm , even 40 there's 1200 -2000/# . I'd load 12ga but it's 500/# in them and more 12 ga light game and trap loads is the last thing I need .

I shot up the last of my 7.5x55 ammo I had loaded up, so I was able to deprime, clean, and anneal all of my PPU brass. In the next few days I’m going to get it fully prepped and start working on a new load with a bullet other than the ELD-X.

45 AR.
454424 HP , H&G #130 , factory 230 FMJ ..... The 1917 doesn't care for the 454424 round groove at 257 gr I'm hoping the 11 gr HP will warm up the relationship . The 130# is supposed to be a 185 but mine casts 8 at a time a196 gr . It does shoot these and the RCBS 45-200 well .

That 454424 bullet looks awesome in the 45AR case.
