Visited a friend today and got talking about reloading 45. He said, "you know, i have a bunch of supplies, I should give them to you and let you load them and you keep half...". I said "OK"!

Image

Basically supplies to make 2k of a load he worked up for a 5" Kimber Custom II (same kimber I have). The cases are Federal Nickel once fired from what we could tell. The projectiles are 500 JHP and 500 FMJ.

Going to do a batch at his formula +/- a little to check and see how it goes.

And with the right press that's only about an hour and a half's work :D :D

Based on the price of new ammo that would make your wages about $60-$75 an hour.

That AA#5 is really a good mid range powder for the 230 gr 45ACP. Try 8gr. But NOT with the 500 gr bullets!

There you go, thinking just like "Government". Every one wants half, even if there are 6 or 7 levels wanting their half.
