Hello all...

I am brand new to reloading, as I just inherited a RCBS setup from my grandpa.. I have been doing a lot of reading about this subject, perhaps too much, and I'm in the grips of information overload..

I am looking to reload .45 ACP, for my Taurus PT145 Pro. Looking for specific info, regarding your reload specs (bullet weight, powder type / charge, primers, ect).. I would like to start with a tested combination, because this makes me a little nervous, being new to this.. :-)

Also, My .45 has a short 3.25" barrel, so I am looking for some kind of faster burning powder? Also, how do I know if I need large / small primers, ect?

I havent started any physical reloading yet, and I'm sure some of these questions are plain as day, once I have the components in my hands.. But from just the reading I've done, had created as many questions as it answered..

Thanks!
