another +1. Its amazing how many times I still read on the internet that 45 colt brass is weaker. Its been a very long time since that was the case. For some reason people keep repeating this crap over and over again.


I'll just say it one more time. Weak for 454 pressures. Not as safe as 454 brass at 454 pressures. Read and understand if you can. 45 Colt is good for Magnum pressures-IE 40K psi. Not good for repeated loading at 454 pressures. Can not make it any more clear. This is not general internet bull$h!t. Read the warning or not.

In a properly built 5 shot 45 colt, brass is not an issue at the higher end of the pressure spectrum. I have seen it work time and again myself.
