45 ACP 185 HP loads

[Exodus343]

What are some of your guy's loads with HP38?
I've been playing with the seating depth and I'm curious what are others doing

My opinion is to start with a reloading manual . Start at min and don't go over max .
Not knowing anything except 45 ACP and HP 38
New cases ? Bullet wise - hard / soft cast? Pc - either coated powder or polymer ? Jacketed , hollow point , boat tail ?
Are you using a scale , dipper or powder thrower ?
A2 , 3 , 4 or more die set ? [ I am using a loadmaster and use 5 dies [ I deprime and prime off press - yes others have already said I am wrong ]
Single stage , hand , turret - maybe even Dillon -what are you using ? .
Very few of us will post what we load - I have a few 45s and reload for each .
Don't even start me on barrel length .
