OAL for .45acp in a 1911

Joni Lynn:

I could not agree more about crimp .469 to .470 really works for me. In FMJ 5.8 grs of HP-38 soooo far has been very good-but when I load lead bullets I drop it down. Good Luck, Woody P.S. I mostly load 200 gr. and 230 gr. in .45 acp. OH I picked up a new 625JM today, range tomorrow!

Thanks.
I haven't loaded any 45acp for awhile now. I have a small problem with being able to walk (haven't for 4 months) and can't get to my guns, carry stuff to the car or get around at the range so no shooting for me.
A couple years ago or something like that I bought an auto indexing progressive RCBS and once I got it figured out I loaded over 5000 45acp all the exact same and unfortunately most of them are still loaded. When I find a load that works well I leave well enough alone.
On the positive side I hope to once again be walking in the foreseeable future.

Well, we hope so too! Get better soon!

Thanks, I appreciate it.
A gentleman I work with is just getting started in reloading and recently got his first 1911 and now wants to go to the range with me sometime. Maybe in a few months I'll be up to that.
