[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3786881, member: 27673"] Back in the mid 80's the gunsmith that I worked for on Saturdays told me he'd teach me how to reload for my 45ACP and .357. He told me to get my bench and Rock Chucker set up and then go get dies, a pound of W231, some 158 gr. and 230 gr. jacketed bullets and a couple hundred Winch. primers for both. I picked up what he told me to get and he came over one Sunday and showed me how to reload .357 and 45ACP......I picked up bottle neck rifle cases on my own later beginning with the 6.5x55 Swedish round. I shoot considerably more handgun now (especially 45ACP) than I do rifle cartridges and I have several suitable powders for handguns like W231, Unique, H110, 2400, Bullseye and CFE Pistol on hand but it seems like I can load just about anything I want with W231 and that's what I normally fall back on.
