Going to load up the .45 Colt I shot up yesterday[not the leverevolution brass] with 6.0gr Red Dot. Likin' that load a lot. So, next range session will be at the mountain range. Same revolver with the RD load and 7.2gr Universal. Same bullet. The Shoot Out!

Tom, I've been out of Red Dot for some time now so my go-to load for 45 Colt is 7.2 of Universal with 250 gr RNFP. My Marlin and Blackhawk both like that load and it's plesant to shoot.

Paul, 7.2gr Universal is indeed a very good load in .45 Colt. It gets used a lot in my Pietta and Henry. I believe I got that idea from Ranch Roper.
Regardless, it's a fine load. More loading today.

My little deprimming helper.
The 45 colt brass showed up today, and he's been wanting to play with the presses.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Thanks Tom, I have a video of him a couple years ago doing the same.
I helped him finish up, I put 'em in the press and he pulled the handle on the last 50 or so.
Dumped them in the tumbler this morn, about 40 mins. ago.
I found one new piece of brass that was primed in the bunch. a bonus.

Too bad shipping powder is such a pain as a local guy yesterday put up a new 4 lb jug of Red Dot for $160. Not great but if you need some you need some.
