Greeting gents. I have developed a major Jones for the legendary 45 Colt. Full disclosure, I have owned a Bond Arms Derringer for a few years and I got a barrel for .410 / 45 LC. I shot a bit of 45 Colt and thought I should get into the caliber for reloading, as well as get a true 45 Colt six-shooter. Probably a Ruger stainless, but that's for another thread. I am a horseback rider, I love Westerns, I have a man cave decorated in Western and Horse theme, and my favorite TV shows and Movies are Westerns, so I am actually surprised that I never got into 45 LC sooner than now.
I did order Hornady Titanium Dies for 45 Colt. They should be here next Tuesday or Wednesday. I do single stage. I have a progressive, but I just do not use it. I enjoy going slow, doing everything single stage myself. I approach reloading like an art form. One stage at a time, slow and methodical, with as much precision as I can give the craft. I am not into volume, I am into the art of crafting ammunition.
Any advice on powder/primer/bullet/brass/whatever? Any reloading experience and/or advice on the 45 Colt would be appreciated. Of course I have a full set of reloading manuals, but input from the members here would also be appreciated.
Thank you gentlemen.
