has any one used the 45cal speer plastic bullets in 45 LC cases? speer says the 45 cal is for 45acp only, I don't see why they won't work in the 45lc case.thanks guys

Heck yeah they work. However, once the primer fires it jumps back a little and will tie up the cylinder. And don't tape an IPSC cardboard target to a cheap apartment door. You'll find a bunch of holes when you take down your target.

If you drill out the flash hole with an 1/8" drill on a few cases, the primers won't back out and lock up the cylinder.

Now about that door...............

Hope this helps.

I have a few Colt cases that had small neck splits. I trimmed them down, opened up the flash hole and started banging away. YMMV
