Hey Bunk,
Let us compare notes. Tralalalalalalalala
Now, I do have a recipe. It works quite well FOR ME!! I am also using a mix'd lot of dies. They are all somewhat dedicated. I load on a Dillon 650 with all the safety bells and whistles. I have a reason for all those safety bells and whistles ........ I'd rather not discuss,..... nor admit to.
Y'all know I run APP. I also run BP. I run both thru a Dillon Powder Measure. Only thing I "dip" is 12Ga Brass Hulls. But, that is a different subject.
For the C45S I use a standard Dillon 45 Colt resize die. A Redding 45 Auto Rim Seating die and a Redding 45 Auto Rim Crimping die.
I wash my cases in 50/50 water/Vinegar. Dry and tumble. De-Prime when I reload. I neck size only. Full case of APP 2f, Federal LP Primer. Special 130Gr bullet called a "Barnstormer" for pistols. 160Gr RNFP For the Rifles. I get just a tad of Blow-By. Not enough to bother with and I shoot complete match without having to mess with the Carrier Block.
Because the Auto Rim has a smaller Neck Diameter, I get a real FRIM Crimp. ALL of my rifles (4 Henry 1 '73) in 45 have very "Generous"
chamber dimensions. I think they'd Blow-By with 105 Howitzer rounds. But the Blow-by is managed.
YMMV

PS: I run a full case of APP, to the base of the bullet. I have no idea just exactly how much powder it is. I don't care. It is the "correct" amount volumetrically and it works. What it weighs?? Meh.
