have done some 45acp for my springfield mil-spec before, have new vaquero in 45colt which i plan to hand load for. like to keep number of inventory items to a minimum. 45acp would normally take a taper crimp, 45 colt would normally take a roll crimp.
is there a single bullet (preferably plated type) suitable for both? berry's seems not to have anything. not going nuclear here, just soft to medium stuff for targets and plinking.
have rcbs 45 colt dies on order. can the 45acp crimp die be used on the 45 colt
cases (so as not to pinch plating of bullet)?
wanting to go for accurate loads, but also to get the most bullets per pound, is there much sacrifice in accuracy deviating from the presumed optimum of 230gr for 45acp and 255 for 45 colt? what is the lightest bullet which would give satisfactory accuracy in these calibers? (leaving aside the feeding problems with 45acp; i have given up on semi wad cutters there!)
