    anybody using Blue Dot for 45 ACP?

    I'm working on finding a good load for my new 45. I have Bullseye, Power Pistol and Blue Dot on hand. I've already done one round of testing with the Bullseye. I'm going to do a series with Power Pistol this weekend. I noticed the Lyman book has Blue Dot data for .45 ACP so I'm thinking about...

    trimming cases that headspace on the mouth

    I've been reloading 9mm Luger for about a year. Now I'm branching out to .40 S&W and 45ACP. I'm thinking about trimming all the once-fired cases that I've collected for these new calibers just so I'll be starting out with a "standard" length that will hopefully produce very consistent taper...

    OAL consistency problem with Lee Pro 1000

    I got a new Lee Pro 1000 a couple of weeks ago. I have not had the kinds of issues many of the Midway and Cabela's web site reviewers have had. I am seeing one issue though: During initial setup I'm just doing one round at a time until I get the powder drop and bullet seating where I want them...
