Thumbs up Well, somethings to think about!

When you order your bullets, made sure they are sized so they go in the throats. Otherwise when you seat them like this, (see attachments) they may not fit your gun!

These are sized to .453" and will not seat in either of my 45ACP revolvers. Both of them are sized to .452" Personally, I think this is the reason I have very little problems with leading in either of them!

This bullet is a copy of the 45-270-SAA bullet that in hollow point mode is right at 270gr. In solid form, it weighs in at a whopping 285gr! Formidable!

At any rate, there is .060" more of this bullet in the case over the 240gr so it will take a while to work up a load. I am going to have to try something in the Unique, AA#5, SR4756 burn rate area. Nothing too fast!

This case is not full length sized and you will notice that there is no bulge at the base of the bullet. When the case is sized properly, there would have been, no doubt. Sizing to .451" will take care of both of the problems at once, seating and bulge. The only thing I may get out of that deal though is leading, we will have to see.

At any rate, when I get time I will work up a load for these bad boys in 45ACP/AR and get back to you! These would be real interesting for "social work", wouldn't you say?

Take a look!
