.45 ACP Reloading Tips.

Holy crap, that's a looong OAL!

I hear crimping to .471 is also a good thing.

OOPS. I must have dislexic fingers. Correction made to 7221..Ahh..1227.
I crimp to 471. 470 seems to dig into the bullet alittle too much and 472 doesn't pass the push test. It's amazing what .001 in. will do on a crimp.
As for the primers. Read the back of the box. Most Win primers state not for use in automatic primer feeds. Wear safety glasses and seat slow on a progressive press or go with CCI primers. Even they suggest not to use on an unshielded auto primer feeder. Bloody Lawers.....
