45acp moon clips are ok but

[Riposte1]

Didn’t Remington Peters produce .45 Auto Rim? I don’t remember not being able to find it, but maybe that was forty years ago.

I have a box of Remington in the Green and Yellow box to they made it as late as the 70s or at least 60s'

Just ordered 100 rounds from Steinel Ammo, not cheap but getting mainly for the brass. Also ordered a Shell plate kit for my 550 Dillons so I can start reloading. Already reload for the 45acp and 45 Colt and have all the die sets and power sets for the Dillions. Will be ordering 100 rounds of brass from Midway. Will work great in my new Ruger Redhawk .45acp/.45 Colt. 200 rounds of AR brass will be enough as I can still use moon clips.

Here in the bunker someplace I have a couple of HKS loaders here for the 45 Auto,, Rimmed.

All i need for 45AR, but certainly others have preference for speed clips or heavier loads. 200 gn flying ashtray, 200 lrnfp and 215 wfn. All are very close to same poi at 25 yds.

When I shot USPSA revolver with my 625 JM there was nothing faster than full moon clips into or out of the gun, This is with ball ammo. The cylinder was almost like a vaccum.

Me, too.

I guess so. Every situation is not self defense-related. Some like to shoot targets leisurely.

When I shoot targets leisurely with my 625-8 PC I load with ordinary rimless rounds and after firing, I simply flick the extractor rod briskly 2 or 3 times and then complete the extraction process with my fingernail.

Easy as pie.

When I carry in the field, It's with Ranch Brand moon clips both in the revolver and for reloads.

My first 25-2 came as a factory shortened and nickel gun - while full moon clips wered out yet I siver soldered two half moon clips togetether and later had a machine shot make some one piece ones.

Then I chamfered the chamber mouths of my 25-2 and I could drop a moon clip loaded with ball into the gun from a height of 4".

No doubt the .45 with moon clips is about the fastest reload for a revolver (the smaller calibers are harder to hit but just by a little). That said it is not faster than a second gun ("New York Reload") and that "reload" doesn't take the gun out of action.
