Fred, thanks.
He is married to that rail & ghost ring set up. I guess he wants back up.
He also agrees on accuracy of that gun. Guess I'll have to get a 45-70 :)
My friend is a new hunter in Ohio and shoots a Marlin 1895GS (45-70). He has XS Pic Rail with ghost rings and wants to mount an intermediate or long eye relief scope (see photos).
The first photo is a pic of his rail and the second is the setup he is shooting for.
His shots will be between...
Guys,
Need a little help. I need to sell my "like new" Dillon 550B set up. In this case "Like New" means this press has been pulled less than 50 times with the 45 ACP dies. The other two powder measure, caliber conversion kits and dies have not been touched. I have 3 powder quick change...
Trying to decide on first load. Load will be for practice and plinking.
I measured some WWB 45 ACP and came up with the following for OAL:
1.269
1.268
1.269
1.267
1.273
1.266
I've never had a problem shooting WWB in my 45s so will go with 1.260.

Thanks guys - that's why I asked before starting. Thanks for the feedback.
I want to be conservative.
I checked a few other manuals after reading your responses.
45 ACP
Lee's
Lead 230 - 4.3-5.3
Jacketed 230 - 4.2-5.3
Lyman 49th 5.2-5.8 TMJ
I'll start at 4.4gr
Thanks much.
New to reloading & have a ?
Doing some practice ACP rounds with just brass & bullet. On the crimp die there is a metallic click or pop at the bottom of my stroke. I know it's the die crimping the round but is the sound and sticking normal?
Thanks Much
Man you are right about that! I have to hold the die & tighten the nut. The nut pulls the die down & retightens it. I had to resort to using a 7/8 wrench to hold the die while I tightened the ring to get 1.258.
Thanks Much
It's a beginners question so be nice.
I am setting up my Dillon 550B for 45 ACP. Trying to work on the proper OAL. My reloading manual says 1.260 for BERRY's 230gr. RND. Had fits trying to get close to 1.260. Closest I can get is 1.250 - 1.258ish . The nose still does not reach the end...
It only looks adjustable. I played with the height before bolting it to the wall. There is a 2x4 lag bolted to the wall in back & on the right. The saw horse only supports the weight on the front left corner. The press is not bolted yet. I haven't decided where to put it. I will have the...
It's not much but all the space I have in the office. I have most of the brass cleaning, trimming & case prep in the garage.
I built the shelves with shelf pin holes so they are all adjustable.
Still waiting on the 550B.
Guys sorry if this is a stupid question.
Would it make sense to buy a 16" Noveske (or other) 300 BLK now & convert to SBR later? That way I can shoot & have fun while I am trudging through the stamp process to obtain the barrel.
As far as the Forms go I assume I would have to get the...
Telekenisis - you are correct this is my first. Can you explain the SOT me. I have a friend with an FFL that can do the transfer but not sure about the SOT.
Thanks for the help.
