    Problems with 45 ACP load

    I generally shoot different loads, whatever my LGS has in or on sale (with the exception of aluminum casings). But to report back, I went to the range again with a large siloutte target to see exactly here rounds were impacting. Loaded one mag with the rounds in question here (5.3g, 230g fmj...

    Problems with 45 ACP load

    Just as another picture. I did notice when I crimp the rounds, it leaves a "scuff" almost looking mark and the very top of the case. Not sure if this is normal or not. I also cambered a round to see it maybe it was too long and notice a very similar mark at the very bottom of the copper. Seems...

    Problems with 45 ACP load

    I believe it's the .49 disc. Pretty sure but can't remember off the top of my head without looking

    Problems with 45 ACP load

    Shoots great with factory's. Accurate and doesn't hurt at all even after shooting 200 rounds. I shot 10 yesterday and my finger hurt for about 20 minutes after

    Problems with 45 ACP load

    Hard to get a decent shot. As for a scale, I'm using a Lee safety powder scale. I didn't think 5.3g would be bad either considering people are using upwards of 5.6-7 with the same powder but the manuals saying different charges was fairly confusing. I'll go back to 4.9 and see what happens

    Problems with 45 ACP load

    I'll see if I can figure out how to post a picture. Kind of is a stupid question but half valid. I shoot the gun pretty regularly and have to qualify with it minimum twice a year for work, so yes I could hit before

    Problems with 45 ACP load

    I'm using a Lee turret press. I'm Also while crimping, on the downstroke of the ram (case coming out of the die) it like catches slightly almost. Kind of hard to describe but I'm assuming this isn't normal?

    Problems with 45 ACP load

    As for scale, I'm using a Lee pro auto disc and balance scale to verify throw. Each time I checked it, it was throwing 5.3 on the dot. I have two manuals (Lee and Lyman) and both say different charges for 230g so wasn't sure what to go with. Lee says 4.9 start and not to exceed 5.3 where Lyman...

    Problems with 45 ACP load

    I'm very new to reloading and just loaded and shot my first batch of 45. While shooting I had two pretty substantial (on my mind) problems. First, I couldn't hit the ground if I tried. Even from ~7-10 yards I could barely hit paper and was all over the place. Second, it actually hurt my trigger...
