Reloading 45 Colt Cartridges On The Cheap.

Reloading 45 Colt cartridges on the cheap with a single stage press. One mistake: I did one step backwards, expanding should be done first to avoid pushing the primer out by accidentally pressurizing the case.

Hello, it's a stool I bought at Target for $20.

I've never had to expand before priming. In fact the Lee dies expand as they drop your powder charge. In the vid your doing it exactly as I do, and have never had a primer get pushed out.

@doctruptwn You're right, I remember doing the same when I had a Dillon 550B. I just thought, why not, with a single stage press.. It could happen on an enlarge primer pocket..

Gotta try black powder in that brass :)

@hogsnplanes Hi, yes, I certainly want to.. I have some 777, but it's FFFG, and they say not to use that granulation in cartridges (only FFG). I can't find black powder locally, so I'll have to order online.. Black powder would probably get me the best velocity for the least pressure.. I also might try IMR-4227, but I need magnum primers for that..
