Right, and I'm sitting on a PILE of acp brass at the moment with only a convertible BH to shoot them in.Rifletom wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 10:45 amAfter thinking on this one, might not be a bad idea.

Lol, just a couple weeks ago I was rearranging under the bench, and found a coffee can, a 2lb. version half full of primed brass.

Randy, same thing here. Looking for something else, and I find more .45 acp brass in coffee cans, boxes. Not to mention .38 spl brass.
That .45 acp rifle could be a good seller and a hoot to have.

I wonder if 45 acp with a moon clip would feed, fire and eject.
edit: busted idea. Looks like moon clips aren't made for single rnds.

Re: What Rifle Would You Like To See HRA Build Next?
I have five gallon buckets, that's plural, of 45acp brass. From years of shooting in competition. I was buying the ammo by the case.
Plus the reloading.....

Re: What Rifle Would You Like To See HRA Build Next?
I'm not shooting competition any more. When I packed up to leave Virginia and move to Oklahoma, I gave my mentor all the brass I had except two buckets of each caliber I reload: 9mm, 38, 40, 45. I gave him a dozen or dozen and a half five gallon buckets of sorted brass in those calibers and 223, and shotgun hulls. I don't reload 223 and the shotgun shells. My guy HAD plenty of spent brass, a small building full, but I knew he taught LOTS of private classes, and taught reloading as well, he would see the brass dispersed to those who would need it but might not be able to afford it.
I couldn't afford to haul it all 1400 miles. I also gave him a bunch of extra range stuff. Target frames, various targets and backers, stands, etc.
Didn't have the room for it all in the two U-hauls. He said he'd find room in his range house.

Re: What Rifle Would You Like To See HRA Build Next?
Although I don't have a bucket full, I have plenty of .45 ACP brass and three handguns to use it in. One Ruger Blackhawk .45 with the ACP cylinder, a Remington R1 and A 1937 Colt National Match.

Re: What Rifle Would You Like To See HRA Build Next?
I have alot of 45acp brass as well. I havent given my 45's much attention lately becasue of the primer situation. I have some LPP but Im to my reserve that I refuse to go below. I see SPP losing up some but LPP and LRP are still to spendy for me. I also have a ton of the most unloved caliber I know of the 40 S&W. But I have a PC Carbine in that caliber and a 1911 Rock that I just bought to shoot those. I would take a look at a levergun in 45acp as I think that would be a fun gun also.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
