.45 Colt

[redryder]

After reloading a quantity of 9mm, loading for the “huge” .45Colt on the 550 just seems too easy.

They both look good.

Nice progressive press

Love my .45 colt, 255 grn cast from a Lee bullet mold and 7.0 grns of Unique and I can shoot all day.

Try 25 acp some time, than you will know why no one shoots the silly thing.

Yup loading for the big Colt is certainly fun.

I love shooting them and I find loading for them is trouble free and easy.
I load TB in a two SASS NMVs, two 1871s an 1866 Yellow Boy and an 1873
Never any trouble for the spotters to tell if there's a hit on steel either.

For your next foray into big bullets, get yourself a .45-70 Sharps, Rolling Block or something similar for even more fun.

I've got a Browning BPCR in 45-70. Been sitting in the back of the safe for too long.

A word of caution about the aforesaid .45-70s:
They are addictive!
I started with an 1885 Hi-Wall, that led to an 1874 Sharps, a Rolling Block and a Trapdoor.

Yes, I'm now a big bore addict and NO, I don't want help!
