     OTHER DESCRIPTION  It is difficult getting good subsonic loads with heavy bullets in 45C. But this one nails it - VERY consistent and accurate. Nowhere near max, but use ONLY in strong guns like Ruger and TC! This fills the case about 80%, 1.4cc powder. I am investigating heavier bullets and other powders, will post here when get good loads.
