Well I went to the range last Sunday and fired my first reloaded rounds, I still have all my digits attached to my hands.lol

All rounds fired as I had hoped all went bang no FTF or FTE.

Mixed brass .45acp .230 grain RN lead from STS with CCI LPP and 4.4 grains of Titegroup and a COAL of 1.250, this is about a mid load according to the LEE book with 4.0 the minimum amd 4.8 the max. I figured this probly gave me around 800 FPS.

Shots were smooth and not to much recoil, but Titegroup seems a little smoky and not much flash. not to bad all in all. I think when I run out of this Titegroup I am going to give AA#5 a try.

I just want to say thank you to all who took there time to answer all my questions this past winter as I read up on the reloading. thanks again you all are the best!
