Currently as I start back up I just loaded 100 rounds for 45 colt.
255 g Lee boolet over 4.8g of Trail boss. (this has been load for years now)
the recommend 4.3 to 5.5 grain for 621-769 fps
Now for 45 ACP with a 200g Lee cast boolet
I could use trail boss, I have enough in stock for around 800 rounds. (but this is my 45 colt load)
I also have enough Clays for 1750 45 acp rounds.
I have an unlimited supply of Winchester 572 Ball because that is my shotgun power for 20/28 gauge (and is available at times).
but first real life problems: Primers
I currently have 700 large pistol and 1000 large pistol magnum (which I bought by accident).
I would like to save the 700 for 45 Colt loads and maybe start with the Magnums in the 45acp.
clay's calls for 3.6g to 4.3g for 759 to 888 fps
Winchester 572 calls for 6.4g to 7.2g for 897 to 1,018fps (this winchester even in 45 colt seems fast speeds)
If I want to use my magnum primers, where would you start? should i maybe save this clays for when the trailboss runs out and use 572 for the 45acp from the start?
