Time to test the load

finished a short run of 45acp last night headed to the range to see how well they work. first time using lead instead of jacketed. used 4.9 of bullseye and winchester lgr primer and a 180grn lrn.

Sounds like fun I started using lead for punching paper it works great . Lot cheaper to load only thing I noticed is gets a little dirty from the lead but that's what cleaner is for .

Dont pay attention to the "views" vs "replies" you get on your threads. Its the modus operandi here.
