Powder for .45 ACP

[talonnet30]

i have been looking for unique but it isn't that easy to find or it is bought up before i can even get any, granted i don't really need it as i am not ready to actualy reload but i need to figure out this lee scale also was wondering when you deprime old brass, is it ok to reprim it even if it will be a while be fore you acutaly reload it??

[crbutler]

Yes, its OK.

I have a bunch of factory primed stuff that still works and it was sitting around for 10+ years.

Just keep it dry and avoid extreme temps and it will work fine... but make sure you clearly document what primers are in it...

oldmanFSCA, i haven't forgot about you, and i do plan to take you up on that training, just need to get time off work and funds

Unique is available, has been available at Wolf's Den in recent past, check there first.

I have 2 pounds reserved for a friend in Oregon, will take to the FCSA World match in Raton, NM.

Check out The ABCs of reloading as a guide as well, I was recommended to me by a lot of people when I started a couple years ago.

For accuracy, you will do best with 231/HP38, AA2, Bullseye, and Red Dot.
For performance, you will do best with Power Pistol to Longshot.

Thank you noylj
With the lack of availability of powders it's nice to see a list of possibilities. I go into the store and have my favorites, but often they are long gone so it's great to see some possible alternatives at a glance without having to lookup each one.

I agree with Oldman on W231.
I also use WST.

I shoot either the bulk cast Red River bullets which I get at Wolfs Den for around $41.00 for 500, and for better groups I get Precision [black bullets] out of Kemp Texas for around $118.00 a thousand.

Buying in bulk, I figure that I only pay around $6.50 for a box of 50.

Welcome to the wonderful world of shooting 1911s.
Best pistols ever made.
