    Hey Gang, I've reloaded about 100 rounds of 230 FMJ that my new Beretta px4 storm ate without a hiccup. I decided to try 230 RNF and loaded about 50 of them to take to the range today. Every single one failed to chamber all the way. 230 LRN Bullseye 4.7 CCI SPP Blazer Brass Taper...

    Lead vs FMJ for .45 ACP

    Hey gang!! I'm looking to save a bit more money shooting my .45 ACP. I'm looking at maybe picking up 225 grain RN lead bullets as opposed to the 230 grain FMJ. My question is, is it different loading lead compared to FMJ? Any different techniques other than what the manual says? Thanks for...

    Problems with first loads ever - 45 ACP

    Hey gang, I've been trying to setup my dies for 45 ACP. I bought a Redding turret press with redding dies. I bought the Redding 3 die set and then a Redding Taper Crimp Die. I don't think I have my dies setup correctly. The instructions that came with the dies are pretty spartan. I think I...

    Hey guys, I just started getting all my equipment for reloading in the mail. I am really stoked to start! :) I'm going to be limiting myself to .45 ACP for now. My question is, how can I tell what size primer new brass from an online catalog takes? I've ordered all my stuff from MidwayUSA...
