Set the dies up to load .45 LC. Then, make a set of spacers to insert between the dies and the press. I have my .38/.357 and .44 Spl./.44 mag. dies set up that way. Probably the best bet would be to use washers with a 3/4" hole. The problem with those was the ones I found were quite wide. I suppose that you could trim them down some. One might have to be made thinner as well to get the final setting. Yes, it's a bit of work, but it only has to be done once.
