    OK,

    So I was a bit sarcastic, with the 21 loads.

    I have 3 different loads, PERIOD.

    I load the LYMAN #452374, seated to the start of the OGIVE & taper crimped. FULL POWER LOAD. Works in all my .45 ACP handguns.

    LYMAN #452488, seated to the edge of the bearing surface. Loaded light for Target use, it functions in all 1911 Handguns. All of which are ramped/throated. Just change the spring weight. Works well in the Blackhawk, GREAT accuracy.

    RCBS #452-201-SWC/KT, seated to edge of bearing surface & taper crimped. Loaded to a Full charge this is a Combat type load that functions in all guns. It's the load I take to the range for punching clean holes in paper, with the "furrin" guns and RUGER Auto.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    I have 7 different .45 ACP guns. And I'd have to have a different OAL for each of the 3 .45 ACP Loads I use.

    One X three for the old SIG-SAUER.
    One X three for the RUGER P-90.
    One X three for the H & K USP 45.
    One X three for the COLT Series 70 Gold Cup.
    One X three for the COLT COMBAT GOVERNMENT MODEL.
    One X three for the old COLT COMMANDER.
    One X three for the .45 ACP cylinder for a RUGER BLACKHAWK convertible in .45COLT/.45ACP.

    21 different loads

    Thank The GOOD LORD, that l have 30 50rd and 8 100 rd boxes for .45 ACP Brass.
    NO I choose my worst case scenario & load my ammo the same for all the diff guns.
    EVERY GOOD SHOOTER NEEDS TO BE A HANDLOADER.
