45 ACP original loads

If Lee would just paint ONE model blue! Man, I could sell folks on them like CRAZY!

Kinda like what the Dillon Crowd around here says about Lee

Man ain't that the truth?! Every one of the 10K or so rounds I have fired in that Taurus was made on a Lee Pro 1000. That loader sits next to a Lee Loadall 12gauge that keeps me shooting trap in an old Winchester 1200. Isn't neat how our low dollar guns and loading equipment just keep plugin' along? But I am old enough to remember sub $200 Smiths and Colts. My first 22 pistol was a $49 Ruger standard auto.

It is amazing isn't it that we can somehow get by.

I admit to not being a Taurus fan, I have had a few and they worked fine.

They did do their homework on their 1911. It's as good or better than a lot of the high priced spreads.

It's even more amazing that ammo produced on a Dillon will actual work in a Taurus??

I better put in my 2 cents on a mil-spec load. I read an article in "Handloader" about WSF powder and using 6.4 grs with a 230 fmj bullet. That has turned into one of my best loads using a 230 fmj bullet from Montana Gold. 812 fps is what I get from my 45's with the 6.4grs of WSF. I also get great results with WST and 231 for the mid-range accuracy loads. All my 45's like these powders best for the mid-range. But when things heat up, AA#5 is hard to beat.
