45AR

Tip of hat, neighbor. Thanks for the response. Haven't gotten into lead, yet. Is there a need to roll crimp or will taper give enuf' bullet pull? Gotta' go. 'Gators up to my elbows. Be back later. A good day to ya', sir. Forgot.... Total metal jacketed without cannelure

i have shot 250 rounds and 4 different bullets still have not found the right combo to keep from leading in my new
JM625 all bullets I tried were .452 diameter, best results from some 200gr swaged using 4.5gr BE powder, who sells swaged the ones I have I bought at a yard sale no name on box I have not shot these in 1911 yet, I am trying to find a load that will work in both, using the 1911 shooting bullseye.

Areas of even minor bore constriction (tight spots) or roughness, will cause leading in revolvers. Unfortunately, it's a pretty common problem - especially where the barrel is threaded into the frame. 0.0015" - 0.003" will do it.

Cylinder throats oversized for lead bullets (super hard bullets - even worse), will do it as well. I've had best results w/ 0.452" bullets (cast of wheel weights), paired w/ 0.4525" throats.

My current favorite shooter is a plain vanilla, .45acp, 4", 625-8. Bore is smooth, & free of constrictions. Throats, although slightly "snug" at .452", are smooth & free of tool marks.

Softer wheel weight alloy 200SWC-PB / .452" (Lyman 452460), shoot ragged hole groups, using 4.2 grains of TiteGroup. Harder alloy 200SWC-BB / .452" (H&G68 clone) bullets from Dardas, shoot ragged hole groups using 5.0 grains of TiteGroup.

I lube everything w/ LBT soft blue, but there are a lot of good / soft lubes out there.

fredj338, I spoke with a Dillon rep a few years ago and he advised they did not offer an Auto Rim shell plate for my press (XL 650). Someone on this forum told me differently. I called'em again and was told by this rep that a 45 Auto Rim shell plate is available. One roosts here now.

I tried some berrys 185gr HBRN with 6.5 gr unique it my best groups so far, what do you experts think about this bullet?
any one have good load for it to use in JM625 with 45ACP cases?

Um, that violates copyright laws friend! So, in essences, on the world wide web, you just asked someone to commit a crime! Wow!

If you want Pearce's articles, and they were in Handloader Magazine, you can go to the Wolfe Publishing website, do a search and get the article/issue for a small fee.

Personally, I subscribe to the three magazines online as well as LoadData.com. That way, I get all of the loads he develops as well.

Now, as far as leading in the 45AR: I have a M625JM and I have yet to have any leading problem with it. My bullets are homemade though. I would never shoot swaged bullets as they are too soft for good performance, at least, in my opinion.

I have several loads, all of which are one holers @ 20 yards. My H&G #502, 240gr LSWC comes out of that 4" tube at 1100fps, no leading. I have a Saeco #296(?) 220gr RN that exits at 850fps or less, no leading. I cast and shoot the venerable H&G #68, 200gr LSWC from it as well and all are sized to .452", cast from straight wheel weights and lubes with White Label Lube's Carnuba Red or BAC, no leading, period.

There was a forum member here that I sent some bullets to that had some leading issues in his M625JM. I gave him some of the H&G #502 and he experienced what I do, great accuracy and no leading.

It could be that you have copper fowling in your barrel caused by shooting jacketed bullets. Use Gunscrubber on it and get it out. Then try to shoot lead again.

FWIW

Yepper there is 650 and 550 conversions from Dillon, but not for the SDB.

I have always liked the Berry 185gr RBHB....
