Hey guys. I'm about to start loading for my .45 Colt I just got. The bulk of my experience is with rifle loads. Is there anything I need to know about the .45 Colt?
I've got new Winchester brass, Trail Boss, and 250 grain Nosler jacketed hollow points. I'll be getting some lead bullets as soon as I can get to the store. It's a ways away, so I'll start with these. I did notice messing around with them the other day that the bullets go in the cases very easy. They're .451 and say .45 Colt on the box. I'm assuming that the seating die will take care of that.
I've got a pound of H110 but I'm going to crawl before I walk and get used to loading for it before I step up to the full throttle loads. Right now it'll be Trail Boss and target loads.
I know this is basic stuff for most of ya'll, but I'd appreciate your input and advice. Thanks.
