.45 ACP Reloads 12/8/07

The .45 reloads were done according to the video instructions from Lee. It appears that the setup for bullet seating left the round too long for the pistol, by about the width of the rim. Only two rounds would fire. The remainder I tried wouldn't seat enough to release the trigger. Lee's instructions were to use a round that worked, screw in the die until tight against the round and to adjust the seating part until it was tight on top of the round. I did that, but apparently not enough. the 75 rounds I loaded are now a smidge shorter than the PCM round used as a model. This smidge ~0.05".
