I'm going to load them using my 45acp dies. I think they can be adjusted to load 45 Colt - at least I hope so. I've already set them up and resized, de-primed, flared and a couple cases and it all looks good to go.

The only thing I'm a little uncertain of is the crimping, but I'm pretty sure my Lee FCD taper-crimp die can be adjusted to work. I'd rather apply a roll crimp, but I think the taper should get the job done just fine.
