45 Colt Brass

[DR Owl Creek]

This is data I have accumulated over a period of time, while trying to work-up the most accurate and consistent loads that I can. I thought I would share this with you.

All brass was trimmed to 1.275" +/-.001":

Starline (100 pcs): Average Weight 108.3 gr, ES 2.1 gr
Winchester (100 pcs): Average Weight 114.4 gr, ES 2.8 gr

Please add any other relevant data you have for 45 Colt brass, such as other brands, case neck thickness, case capacity, number of times reloaded, problems if any, etc. Loading comments or quirks with these cartridges would be appreciated also.

Thanks

Dave
