Help me find my AMMO!!!

fishermanben

I'm in dire need of some .45 Colt ammo. Cast, not hollowpoint. High velocity, not cowboy. I don't think it's out of line to ask for a 225gr slug that goes about 1000fps, is it?

I've tried, and I can't find squat.[}:)]

sweaver

cant reload it? that would be the easiest way to get plenty of it.

fishermanben

I know, I've thought about getting into reloading, but right now I'd just rather buy 3 boxes and call it a day.

all ya can get around here is MagTech, cowboy loads, so I load my own..And the Guy at wally World told me there is no such ammo as .45 Colt.. only .45ACP[;)]

Remington lists 225 swc at 960 out of a 5" gun. For the cost of 4 boxes you could be set up loading it. Winchester lists a 250 lfp at 860.

National bullet has a 255 plated cast bullet load, lists at 9something. Their plating is only about .001 thick so it will perform like a lead bullet. I have dealt with them before, while I don't feel that it is nearly the quality of the remington or win ammo, it is super cheap.

The other day when I asked the WalMart guy if they sold 38-super, he set down a box of 38 special and says "a 38's a 38" [:p]

That's it?!?

n/a

a set of powder dippers from lee, about 5 bucks, and a Quick primer from lee at about 12 bucks, primers, powder and cast lead bullets.. Just follow the directions.. I use Winchester 231, and large pistol primers. by the cast lead bullets by the 500s for 20 bucks..you should be able to be loading for under 75 bucks total...

In fact if you get the little lee kit for .45 colt, I will give you the powder chart and some dippers..OH yea look around for a good set of used powder scales..[;)]

If you can accept 225gr JHP, Winchester makes a Silvertip that is rated at 950fps.
