Some of you guys out there must be shooting some home made 45s from the 40 S&W brass. I don't have any reloading data on the 45 to help out....... anyone else?

Obviously what I normallly recamend is starting published loads for next heavier bullet when using bullet made from brass and work your way up from there.

Good shooting.

That's what I've been doing, using the data for the next heavier bullet, starting about mid-range and working up.

The thing to remember is, the bullets made from cases are longer than commercial bullets of the same weight, so the volume of the loaded case will be less. Less volume equals higher pressure.

Hope this helps.
