    .45 ACP bell

    Sorry I missed the part you flared case didn't fit in the sizing die . As above posted the seater die may bring it down to resize in the sizer die

    .45 ACP bell

    Just resize it , I use the Lee M Die expander die , eliminates that bulge when seating the bullet , it doesn't flare the case but puts a step in the case that positions the bullet straight . When seating the bullet the case won't rub the side of the seating die like your experiencing . The bell...

    If you could have only one handgun, what would you choose?

    All the handguns were great but for me the one gun would be the Colt 1911 70 series Government model in 45ACP, it's been around for a long time , maybe forever .

    Officer model 1911

    I favorite carry 1911 is my Colt New Agent in 45ACP. Strictly a carry , doesn't have conventional sights like the Defender but a trench down the center of the slide , came With CT Laser grips . Just love shooting it 50 rounds each week . It's 100% reliable recoil is about the same as a full size...

    How to stop flinching, see the sights, and quit missing low-and-left

    I love shooting 1911's 45acp . Combating the recoil in most cases is getting use to the recoil . Using a rest in the beginning I found very helpful , you have to use it for awhile until you start to shoot good groups , repeatedly holding the pistol the same way . It's getting over the fear of...

    newbie resizing woes

    Jim Yes , it was the first die set I owned , if I remember right it is a neck die , full length die and seating die .I only now use the full sizing die with the expander ball that came with the die , sizing is with the Redding Competition Shellholders . On seating I'm using the Redding...

    newbie resizing woes

    Jim I'm using a standard RCBS F/L sizing die , nothing fancy . I use the expander and my brass is on the thick side so I would think when the expander goes through the neck it would have alot of resistance but it doesn't . Could it be that some die makers have a larger OD in the die neck ...

    Light strikes on primers, why?

    No problem in using rifle primers in pistols only difference is the cup is thicker on the rifle primers.

    newbie resizing woes

    Your following the set up instructions , on new dies you should clean them before you start to size , I'm using RCBS Case lube , I'll run a line on the desk top and lube the case with my fingers , alittle goes a long way , don't put any lube on the shoulder only the case body and neck , I use a...

    Loving that danged ATI .45ACP 1911 Commander more and more

    If you know how to dissemble the pistol alittle polish will make a big difference on your trigger . Check out some videos on line . You can't beat a 1911 trigger . I inherited a Colt 70 series , I have a 3" Colt 1911 for a carry but I started playing around with the 70 series to improve the...

    Removing case lube after full length resizing

    It's only one step for me to remove the lube , then I trim , chamfer , install new primers , I have 0000 steel wool wrapped around a smaller size cleaning brush in my drill press , a quick up and down , remove any dust , powder charge and before seating the bullet I dip the base of the bullet...

    Removing case lube after full length resizing

    I'm not sure about that, I clean my cases first , lube size and clean again to remove the case lube .I use Redding Imperial Dry Lube by dipping the base of the bullet into the beads . You don't want any case lube in your chamber. I don't think case lube should be near your powder . I wet tumble...

    Neck Sizing .270

    I have tried .003 & .004 and found even though you have more room , cases seem to swell more from oversizing causing a harder bolt lift . Sizing to the minimum .001 & 2 it doesn't happen , I can go 25+ reloads , if I see a split at the case mouth I dump the lot . I load 30 of the same cases each...

    Almost made a mistake and traded in my Glocks

    I made myself a pistol rest , I have blown out my rotator cuffs in both shoulders , just holding my arms out straight is a problem . The rest enables me to shoot my 1911 3 & 5" 45's without pain . Just through out my lower back today . Would love to know what pain free is .

    Neck Sizing .270

    Look into full sizing to .002 headspace with Redding Competition Shellholders . You won't oversize your cases and have better case consistency . Just my opinion .
