Absolutely not---hell no---nada---nicht----nein !!!!!!!

Here are some safe loads to use for your .45 lc revolver:

250 grain hard cast lead swc----7.5 to 8.5 grains unique, 6.2 to 6.7 grains red dot, or 6.6 to 7.1 grains of bulls-eye. Ignite with either a winchester / cci large standard pistol primer.

Please note: I took these recipes directly from the #11 speer reloading manual.

Thank god you contacted the forum members for a safe answer to your question----a catastrophe has been averted !!!!!!!
