What ya load'n in them .45's

[StrawHat]

Hi guys! A tad off topic but dang close......I'd like to reload some 45 ACPs for my Uberti SAA that has an ACP cylinder (factory). An Uberti representative said the frame will withstand 21,000 cup pressures just fine and not to use +P loads. I'd like to use Unique and Trailboss with a J/P 200gr BigLube and the 454190.

What ya think?

Move this to the appropriate forum if need to!

Jack,  Any load for the 45 AR (auto rim) would work.  Same internal capacity as the ACP but with the rim in place of the moon clip.  I believe there were acouple of articles in recent HANDLOADER magazines (last couple of years) if you have access to those.

I am using trailboss. Per their load data I get 904fps with a 200gr biglube bullet. 1" groups at 25'. I don't need clips for my acp cylinder. The ACP cartridge falls down into the cylinder and the mouth of the case hits a ledge inside the cylinder. However, does the 45 AR fit in the 45 Colt cylinder? That sounds interesting!!

No Jack.  The auto rim case won't work in the .45 LC cylinder, but "cowboy specials" will - of course

Thats what I was thinking according to the dimensions.

It doesn't,  I was providing another source of recipes for loads.  As Sir Charles mentioned, the 45 Cowboy Special will work, so will loads for that cartridge.

Now, if you have a DA revolver set up for the 45 ACP...
