45 LC Ammo - Beginners Question
« on: February 20, 2005, 02:25:08 PM »
Pards,
Since I don't load jus yet, I would like to know what mfr & where ta git some ammop (same type) fer my guns.

I will shoot a 45 LC Puma, and AWA's. The thought of low recoil attracts me as long as the dang target can be hit and I don't have ta shoot 12" high ta hit it.

I suspect you pards know what I should use and need a bit of advice. :-\ :-\

A couple of other outfits that offer reasonably-priced .45 Colt "Cowboy" load (read moderate velocity and recoil) are:

Ammo Direct - http://www.ammodirect.com/
and
National Bullet Co. - http://nationalbullet.com/

Both have real good deals on .45 and reasonable shipping.  Also, if you send your shot-up brass to either one, they'll reload whatever load you want for about half the price of new ammo.

Well when I want to buy some Cowboy .45's I just make a right and go down the road to Big R, they always stock that PMC Cowboy ammo, about $20.00 a box.

Even is you don't live here in Great Falls  ::)  I would check around locally.  You might be supprised what you find and maybe you won't have to pay shipping.   ;)

I use Ammo Direct, out of 2000 rounds, had 1 high primer, and 3 failed to fires, not bad, and the ammo has been real consistant as far as loading, and shooting.
