Lee C452-300 rf

[z28z34man]

I just bought a Lee C452-300 RF for use in high pressure 45 colt loads and 454 casull loads. Do any of you have any pet loads preferably with h110 or aa#9. If there are any other powders I should try let me know.

For a large Ruger Blackhawk I load with 22gr H110 with this boolit. Be sure your pistol can handle the Ruger Only loads or it will self destruct, do NOT run these in a medium frame Blackhawk or any pistol other than a large fram Blackhawk or Thompson single shot.

I do powdercoat these boolits and gas check them.

Z28,

New to forum! First reply here,
I know your frustration...
Here it go's with my results...
I have Lee C-452-300-GC. I cast with COWW quench out of mold, PC standing up on parchment, Quench out of oven, push through Lee sizer upright with GC @.452, Load to Ruger SRH 9.5" with 29gr H110, COL @ 1.740, cases are batched before stuffing for length uniformity before firm roll crimp. chrony at 1,530fps. ran 50 through and barrel was very clean and more accurate. Was using Hornady 300gr XTP MAG.$$$ until starting casting.

eberglocken on youtube was running up to (I think) H110 for faster cast ones.

Be careful with undercharged rounds..Unsafe they say, you can research that one!

Watch bullets for pulling to verify firm crimp from recoil on your testing
Very nice to plink for 5Cent a bullet.
Good Shootin to ya!

I don't know where you got that load data but I am going to ask you to delete or edit out your data from this post as your data is WAY more than maximum published charge weights. The load you posted is a DANGEROUS and UNSAFE load!

Hodgdon data for a 325gr boolit in 454 Casull caliber at 1.750" COA is only 26.0gr H110 MAXIMUM for 52,100psi!

It is pretty much a given that posts should NOT contain load data that is obviously well in excess of published data, as anyone reading this information could do serious harm to themselves, their gun, or others nearby if they used the data you posted,

Go right to the Hodgdon load data for pistol, choose the caliber and powder, they will give you charge weights for any of their powders that are applicable to the caliber and boolit. So will Alliant. If you don't have loading manuals, the powder manufacturer is the best source of safe and tested data. Lee data merely repeats what is already published in the Lyman and Speer manuals.


I also use 10 gr of Unigue.

This is not a recommended load for a boolit that weighs 320gr checked and lubed. Unique is too fast for this heavy for caliber boolit, 10gr of Unique is a MAX load for a 255gr boolit so you may be well in excess of the 30,000psi pressure ceiling for a full size Vaquero or Blackhawk, this load will be DANGEROUS in a medium framed Ruger. I personally have never seen ANY load data that recommends 10.0gr Unique for a 300gr boolit.

You guys need to be MORE CAREFUL with loading for heavy boolits!

OP - as always please understand that it is recommended that you research your loads using factory published data.

The board is not responsible for damage or injury to yourself or your weapons by using user suggested load data.

Removed load as possible dangerous load

[bigdog454]

I believe that load is near or at max for 454C not for 45 colt

It's way over max for the 454C which is why I reacted the way I did.

The Lee C452-300-RF boolits I have here weigh 320gr sized, checked, and lubed so Hodgdon's data for a 325gr boolit is perfectly adaptable provided the base of each boolit is at the same place when seated and crimped so as to not change the case volume below the boolit.

Let me say this one more time:

29gr H110 under the C452-300-RF @1.750" is a DANGEROUS LOAD even for a 454 Casull revolver.

Reference to this load should be removed from post #3 in this thread as this information is freely circulated on the internet thanks to bots who routinely comb forums like this one for photos and text. I will be willing to bet that if you google "29 grains H110" or "29gr H110" at least one of the replies will link directly to post #3 and at least one of the replies will link to my posts in this thread as well because they contain the text: "29gr H110" and also the text: "29 grains H110."

Edit: See what I mean?
