I ordered this stuff Friday night to go with my Lymann casting setup. I love Lasercast 200 gr. SWC so figured this might be close.

Good start bob, The bullets you been shooting did you check them for size?
A lot of guns like them cast bullets a thou or two bigger than the bore.
45 = .452 some work better with .453 or .454.
Good casting Ken.

I always though anything above .452 was a .45 Colt? Hey I'm new!

Bob, I think those primers are going to cost you a HAZMAT fee of more than the cost of a thousand primers. HAZMAT will eat you up unless you are buying the limit that can be shipped. Other than that, you done good.

Leftoverdj is correct about the Hazmat fee. I almost always order powder and primers because there just isn’t anyone around here that sells what I need. I do make large orders. I usually order at least 8 lbs of powder and at least 5 thousand primers. This creates enough savings to offset the 20 buck Hazmat fee. (I think it was $20 last time I ordered) Another savings on larger orders is shipping will often be less than having to pay sales tax locally.
