Gauging Interest: .45auto rim

[The Rabbi]

Blue Bunny Ammo is gauging interest in a commercial run of .45auto rim, specially for .45acp revolvers. Easier loading at the range and the brass can be reloaded very hot.
Most people who have loaded this caliber are dead.

 

[SASABERANGER]

I am not dead.
Last batch was done for me by a commercial loader in Florida, think I still have some. But don't currently have a .45 ACP revolver.
A whole lot more fun than shooting with Moon clips and a lot easier to handle. If I can find another gun I may just be interested in getting some more ammo.

Rabbi,

Some of us are still kicking.

The AR is easy to load and has all those advantages you mentioned.

I'll buy it

 

[Chuck Jones]

sure I'll take some

I think Black Hills still loads it in a red box. They have it at one of the gun shops I haunt for around $40 a box. I have never bought any because I have a hundred or more moon clips, it's just too quick and easy with the simple tools.

 

[sheriffoconee]

I would like to have something geared toward a good self defense load, a LSWCHP like the FBI load in a 38 special would be a good start.

 

[nutsforsmiths]

I reload this caliber....and I'm under 50!

It's easy to load, and easier then moon clips.

 

[Iowahunter]

I'm still kickin and I reload for it but, I must admit some people think I'm brain dead!!

 

[BloodyThumb]

I'm in. I would also be interested in something geared toward SD as already mentioned.

 

[Andy Griffith]

I believe that the Black Hills loads are with Keith style bullets...er, semi-wadcutters.

 

[CWO USN]

Interested.

Brass available[usually] through Starline and Double Tap loads some hot stuff for it so - as usual - it depends on the price I would think.

I'm always interested in new ammo for the AR. FWIW, I have a portable reloading set up that lives in the back of the truck. Very handy at the range. The two die sets that I always carry are 45 ACP/AR and 38/357.

In the last few years, the AR has pretty much replaced the 44 SPL for me.

I would be interested. AR is much more fun than moon clips.

That is kind of what I had in mind, getting out of the 44 spl business and going AR....

 

[Armyphotog]

Georgia Arms(or Ammo, I forget which), sold .45 auto-rim at very reasonable prices loaded in new brass before all of this run on ammo hurt them. Check and see if they are up and running again. It's 230 grain lead RN, but gets the job done.

When you do, you can ship me yer .44 brass & bullets!

Both Buffalo Bore & Corbon have 45 AR ammo - I have not tried the Corbon, but the BB stuff is very nice.

Take care,

I would be interested in freshening up my supply of Auto Rim brass.
