Hello
I am not new to shooting, but new to reloading. I have a RCBS 3 die set and have been getting things put together seemingly OK. I will be reloading .45acp using Accurate #5 powder and CCI LP primers. Once shot cases from commercial ammo.
I am a very ...very careful guy. I will be loading rounds without powder or primers, to test consistency, proper depth, COAL, etc. When I load powder in, I will measure on a scale, often. And visually inspect all cases. Will probably be careful and load no more than 50 at a time. All rounds will get checked using a barrel to make sure they fit the chamber properly.
SO...my question: I have a nice SIG 1911 Scorpion. I really would hate to harm this gun in any way. Should I get a beater 1911 to use as a test bed before using reloads in my SIG?
Thanks
John
