So I have access to a bunch of these once fired .45 LC blank cases. I made a jig and can cut them down to around .895" I then try to clean them up a little bit and then trim them to .890. I clean up the inside of the case and chamfer the mouths. Then tumble again and reload them in my Dillon 550 with .45ACP dies and a .45LC shellplate and locator pins. I load them with a light charge of Bullseye. I find that I can shoot them in my Ruger .45LC NV's and also in my Colt SAA's with a 45ACP cylinder or the LC, and in my Smiths (25 and 625). I thought the thicker case wall might give me fits after they were cut down below the severe crimp that is used in the blank loading. But other than a little tweaking with the ACP dies they seem to shoot and work just fine.
Any other cartridges that I can use these cases for???
It's a little labor, but I am kinda retired, and I am thinking maybe I will list some of these guys over in S&S....
Not sure what I am doing wrong that keeps me from posting pictures...... I have tried posting in the testing section and it works fine but when I try it the next time....zippo.
