Can this load be accomplished in Starline auto rim brass? For those of you loading this round what is your preferred load? BLUEDOT where are you buddy? I plan to launch these from a 22-4.

Yes, the auto rim brass is plenty strong

I load the Winchester 230 JHPs or the 230 Gold Dots over 9.5 grains of Power Pistol. That is in 45 SUPER brass

I'm here!

Like colt_saa said, Starline's 45 Auto Rim brass are every bit as strong, or stronger, as Starline 45 Super brass. I use the same Super handloads in both.

From Starlines website:

The .45 Auto Rim has an extra thick rim that allows it to be used without a moon clip in revolvers designed for .45 Auto/moon clip combination. It is built with the same integrity as our 45 Colt case.

- and -

Our .45 Colt brass has been tested to .44 Magnum pressures in gun systems suitable for such loads.

That'll work.

I've measured the following Starline case capacities as:

45ACP @ 27.3 grs,
45AR @ 27.4grs, &
45 Super @ 26.8grs.

So the ACP & AR are essentially the same & the Super case has about 0.5grs., or 2% less capacity.

45AR loads in a revolver don't have the COAL" restrictions typically found in semi-auto pistols loads. I load my 185gr JHP 45ARs out to 1.255" but am restricted to 1.220" in my 4586 & 1.200" in my 1911
