Wow, thirty dollars for fifty rounds of .45 LC. I'd be all over some of it if it was around here.

That's a fun powder in .45 Colt. Got that idea from forty. What's your load going to be?

I usually stay around 6.0 to 6.5grs. with the 200 to 250 gr pills.
Works well in both rifles and the 2 Rugers, that Cimarron shoots a Unique load better, but
isn't terrible with the red dot.

Yes, $30 for 50 isn't bad at all.daytime dave wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 6:12 pmWow, thirty dollars for fifty rounds of .45 LC. I'd be all over some of it if it was around here.
The best price I saw in 4 stores today for 45 colt was $52.99 for 50 200gr Cowboy loads. Nope.
I paid $100 out the door for the 2 lbs. I bought today.
If I use one pound for strictly 45's and say at 6.5 grs., that's around 1,076 loads, or 0.046 cents per round.
And even if I was using .10 cent primers, which I'm not.
And cast bullets at what .15 .16 cents.
I'll just keep stuffing my own.

Re: Very glad I load 45 Colt...
Sales prices of several brands was in $30s (plural). Lowest was $33.99, about what I was paying regular price pre-covid. The cheapest seen lately, not on sale, $43.99.
I didn't purchase any, on sale or not. Instead I bought a 100pc bag of 45 colt brass.
