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. :lol:

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! 8-)
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.

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.

Paul, $40 a lb. isn't that bad, especially this day and time.

Universal has filled the void for now. I've got several pounds on the shelf and hopefully things will start to improve. My local shop has Power Pistol on the shelf and that's another alternative.

No, I’m not currently loading anything with Red Dot. Kinda wish I was with $40 no tax for powder. (What am I saying :shock: ) My how the times have changed.

Put together 100 rounds of 308 Win. to take to my daughter's house this weekend. Her hubby has a new Springfield SOCOM he wants to test out. Last fall he gave me a bag of 308 brass so I decided to prep some of them to reload. Come to find out 3/4 of the brass were Berdan primers so into the brass recycle bin they went. Out of a bag of 300-400 rounds only 74 were reloadable. Fortunately I had some extra brass.
