-45 Colt Carbine

[Tenbender]

Do you think 45 45 10 will work in a carbine or should I buy a 454 sizer and run them through my Lyman 450 ?

I used the 45 grease mix in carbines for some time and it worked. But I got tired of greasy sticky boolits, smoke, and leading, so I switched to powder coating almost 2 years ago.

Since then I have cast and shot thousands of boolits from 223 thru 45's with excellent results....NO leading.....NO sticky boolits......NO smoke.

Just use the inexpensive Lee push-thru sizers. PC is the next generation of shooting! Store you Lyman in the closet.

Yes i think 45-45-10 will work in a carbine, works in a 308 handi at 1550 fps.

Works fine in my win 94 trapper in 45LC.

I loaded 300 rounds of 265 LFN style bullets, lubed with 45-45-10, and shot them all through my M92 Rossi(24"bbl) in one weekend with no leading or fouling of any kind.

I've shot lots and lots of 45-45-10 lubed Lee C452-300-RF sized to .452" with Gator checks over 24.5gr of Lil'Gun out of my 20" Rossi 45 Colt with no hint of leading. That's a pretty hot Ruger level load.
