Hey guys. As the title says, where is the best place to start looking for 475 cal bullets that will not break the bank? I would love a 325-360gr HP, but I know that is asking too much! Thanks in advance for the replies.

Thanks for all the replies guys! I have been using the Lyman 49th for some time now, and I very much like it. I just bought the cast lyman manual and an old hornady manual. I can't agree more about having multiple manuals. It's always a good idea to check multiple sources. Sent from my...

Thank you for all the replies guys! I found a hirnady 6tg edition for 8 bucks, picked up the cast lyman book and printed off the above alliant book. They'll will be a good addition for now! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Thank you for the comment! I have many new manuals, but I have not seen the Lyman cast manual! I'll look for that one. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Thank you for the replies gentlemen! I have been reloading for a long time now. I do as you do fotheringill. Regardless of what bullet I am using, I always compare across manufacturers. All my reloading manuals, and online data. What I am finding, is that there were a lot of old cowboy...

Hey everyone. I love having multiple reloading manuals, but manuals these days seem to leave a lot of the "OLDER" powders from IMR and Alliant out. I have an opportunity to buy several old manuals from Hornady. I currently have the 8th and 9th addition from hornady. Is there much difference...

So I stopped by my local gun store today. They had 800x on the shelf. It still says made I Canada at this time. I wonder if it's going to be a slow transition to Alliant. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Oh I've had many headaches with CCI (small pistol) and RCBS. I've tried modifying the decapping pin, and while that helped, it did not solve my issue. Out of sheer curiosity and because it was cheap, I bought a lee decapping die. I've to date never had a hung up CCI primer hang up using the Lee...

It is definitely not unique. The flakes are black instead of gray, and they are too large to be unique. I might give Barnes a call, but I'm sure they will not divulge any information due to liability purposes. But hey, it's worth a shot. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Awesome info Jim! I knew hodgdon had re-labeled 700x and 800x, but I had no idea that the manufacturing plants had changed. Alliant may not be putting the brown indicator flakes in the powder as IMR was. All the 800x I have is made in Canada by IMR. My local gun Shop has the hodgdon labeled...

Thank you for the information! I completely understand the sensory factor as I work in a testing lab. I have two pounds of 800x sitting on my shelf. It's been my go to for my hunting 10mm rounds for a long time. I'm relatively new to the 45 colt, and I'm already in love. I'll give it a shot...

Awesome site! Thank you! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Thank you for the replies, but I am very safe in my reloading practices and always have been. I also understand that companies use non canister powder. This powder is one powder, not multiples blended, although a company could most likely have a type of powder specifically developed for them...

Hey guys. Been to long since I've posted, but I need some help identifying some powder. A friend of mine gave me some 45 Colt loads from Barnes Bullets. After shooting a 5 shot one whole group, I've gotten very curious as to what powder they used. On top of that, the loads are very very clean...

Thanks guys. This has been a big help! I might just go look check the RMRs out at my local gun shop before purchasing. I agree that it look like Glock didn't think through the co-witnessing properly. But it looks like it is going to do exactly what I need it too. I did a bunch of google...
