what types of powder do you guys like for reloading .45acp?how about primers?

Powders I like for .45ACP - Bullseye (target), WST (target), W231 (all around), VV-N340/N350 (SD).
LP Primers - whatever you find on the shelf. Winchester and Federal seat a little easier, CCI and Russian a little harder. If you find some small primer 45 Auto cases, you will need SPP to load them.
Good luck, have fun.When asked what qualities he most valued in his generals, Napoleon said, "give me lucky ones." -

Whatever you can get and whatever is cheapest for most shooting.
For less than 50 yd I've used Unique, Red Dot and now Green Dot.
Most shooting outside Bullseye Competitions is the Indian not the Arrow or in this case powderSpreading the WORD according to COLT. and Smith, Wesson, Ruger, HK, Sig, High Standard, Browning

I like Bullseye and CCI primers. I played with all the other powders and turns out Bullseye is the most accurate.Comment

Bullseye has been THE powder for .45ACP longer than I've been alive.
I discovered Green Dot when I couldn't find Bullseye. It's a bit slower but charge weights are very close. Makes for a nice soft shooter under a 200gr LSWC.
One upside to Green Dot is that it is significantly bulkier than Bullseye if you're worried about a double charge. 4.5gr is easily seen in the case and 9gr fills almost to the top."He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.

You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

I prefer Winchester Primers, but anything will really do.Comment

W231 (kinda dirty) or WST (much cleaner) and both for target loads.It's ok to be jealous. We understand your animosity. We live the life you wish you had. And of over 4000 universities and over 1700 division 1 schools, only one is simply known as "The U"Comment
