Here is my new 929 with Hogue grip and extended release. Just added the All chin mount and C-MORE

I ordered a 550B from Dillon with their 45 acp dies and accessories. I opened the box took oyt the press and said to myself, smart man you are. Made in America and they surely did it right. This will last a lifetime. Setup it and made some basic settings. Ordered some bullets to go along with...

Thats a funny post!

Thank you. I appreciate you recommendation, as well as all the others that posted responses. I decided to start with the most common bullet, the 230 gr RN. later perhaps the FN. will be ordering some bullets this week. Been looking at Ranier and Berry's plated bullets.

45- 200 SWC how about this one? SWC 200gr plated

thanks for the detailed explanations. The intended purpose for pistol reloads is targets, paper and steel. Neither of my guns have been throated. does mean some bullets will not chamber correctly? For my Kimber 1911 and S&W 625JM it sounds like I should be using RN & HP & SWC WC's come with...

I am new to reloading pistol calibers, in this case 45acp. there are many shapes: Round nose flat base Round nose hollow base Flat nose Semi wadcutter wadcutter then there is the plated vs lead Lead and hard cast And Hollow point it seems to go on and on not to mention the wadcutters have...

I bought a bunch of this ammo when it was hard to buy any ammo. So now that I reload I will have a lot of this brass. Guess i will need to keep this seperated from any Brass I buy going forward.

I was going to buy some Blazer Brass Ammo. The wanted to reload the brass. I have Large Pistol Primers. I know some 45 acp is small primer. Does anyone know what size primers are used in Blazer Brass Ammo?

do all weights and type of bullets work with all of the powders we are discussing or is it based on burn rate?

Hey thats great, being a car guy that makes a lot of sense. Thanks. Not having loaded pistol rounds I started with the favorites approach. your explanation is better. se

Mid Post takeaway. 4 powders look to be favorites Bullseye CFE Pistol HP-38 W 231 These are recommended but not as often Power Pistol Unique Universal Autocomp I plan to load with a Dillon 550, so metering is very important. Are all 8 powers equally well metering? And any additional info...

Thank you for pointing out that titegroup is easy to load incorrectly when not careful. I saw others mentioned this also.

good discussion thanks for the thoughtfull comments. being as I have'nt loaded pistol before. what is the ballpark number of rounds from 8 lbs?

I will be a new pistol reloader. I would like to load 45 acp for general range shooting. Before i start buying powder I would like to just pick one and stick with it. I read the top powders my go away (W231 & HP-38). So rather than start with them i would like to use anither powder. Bullseye...

purchased a rebound spring tool and was looking for a nice small handle for it. this makes using the tool simple. cost me 8 bucks. ordered direct from Chapman tools.

Adding a shim on the hammer stud. That sounds like what I need. Are they available precut or do I need to make one? Thanks

Took a few days to get back to the range. I returned to the factory main spring and kept the 14lb wolf trigger return in the gun. I set the main spring tension screwed full in. Before I closed it up, I polished the return spring carrier and a little on the faces of the hammer, where the pivot...

thanks Thank you all, the gun is back together and I learned somethings.:)

Now THAT is funny. Thanks, so that pin rides inside the rebound spring.
