Been reloading some .45 Colts today with my favorite bullet for the .45 Colt .. the Keith 260 gr. SWC. I cast these with the RCBS mold.

The above are loaded with 8.0 gr. Unique.

I have loaded ammo on hand with various bullets:

255 gr. RNFP that I purchased many years ago .. I forget from who ..
[image]

These are loaded with 6 gr. 700X. I find the shotgun powders work really well for standard velocity loads in the .45 Colt .. and the 44 Special ... and the .38 Special .. and ...

These are the Lee 225 gr. RN .45 ACP bullet. Pretty accurate bullet.

These are loaded with 8.0 gr. Green Dot.

I have some heavy .45 Colt loads. Don't care to shoot them much any more. I shot a ton of these back in the day ....

These the Lyman #457191 sized to .452" and loaded with heavy loads of either 2400 or H110.

Fun stuff .. the old .45 Colt still does it!
