I think I figured it out.
I used the internal band from the 45 ACP die and ADDED it to the internal band for the 45 Colt. The Colt band was at the bottom touching the bullet/case while the 45...

I am using two steps.
Seating has been done with both the RCBS 45 Colt and 45 ACP die -- they seem to perform the same.
Crimping has been done with the Lee 45 ACP factory, roll crimp.
I feel...
I only have 5 grains of W231, so lots of spare room. I'll pull the seating die and see if there is a lot of lead.
Hi,

I have a Dillon RT1100 press. I would like to trim the brass, but I don't have the Dillon trimmer (and it is out of stock).

I got a big batch of 223 that I need to trim. I was all set to buy the RT1500 from Dillon, but they are backordered about a year for trimming dies.
Does anyone know if the lee quick trim die...
When "working up", when do you stop? I have a 173grain hollow point from NOE -- I really like them. There is little load data for cast, especially for 40 cal. I will use W231, 700-x or WST. I...
