Help- need 45 long colt load
First day at this reloading stuff and I am already stumped. I have a complete Lee loader, Hodgdon HS-6 powder and a bag of 45 Cal 225 grain Size .452 all lead bullets (flat top) made by Grand Master.
I was told these could be used in either the 45 ACP or the Long Colt but cannot find the correct min and max load for the Long Colt anywhere on line using the HS-6 powder I purchased.
Any help from the experts would be greatly appreciated! :) :) :)
Thank You,
Dale Allen
Maybe one of these days when I get some experience under my belt Ill be able to answer a question for someone in the same boat as me.
Thanks and I need more help!!
First, thanks for the quick response to my question. As I started using the Lee Turret I have a few more. I set the dial for 7.6 grams and my scale weighs 10.1. The yellow scoop they provided says 7cc's and its full with a little 1/5 left over. Is a cc a gram? Should I follow the scale or the scoop. I followed all the scales instructions setting it to 0 ect but it looks like it weighs about 1.5 to two grams more than whats marked on the disk each time. 9.0 weighed almost eleven. If the scoop is 7 grams I'll double check everything with that before I go on.
I did manage to load one complete round. It's beautiful!! But my wife just doesn't understand.
Thanks, Dale Allen
