Did not say this.^^^^

Simply put. AGAIN. Way back in this discussion, we were talking about using 45 Colt cases to save money because 454 brass was too expensive. {AND} getting 454 performance out of those cases. Saving money requires multiple loading in your brass.

All I am saying,(trying to say) is 45 Colt cases is not as good as 454 cases when trying to do that.

45 Colt cases at "plinking" levels--no problem.

45 Colt cases at "magnum levels"(IE:44 mag levels) -- no problem.

45 Colt cases at "454 Levels", Multiple times is riskier. Better to use 454 Brass than 45 Colt cases.

That is all I am trying to say. Simple as that. Nothing more.



It should not be this hard to get this point across here.

I am not the one "harping". Just trying to get a simple point across. I have explained it from many angles. Some people read and comprehend and some don't.

Review for the 19 year old 2nd graders:
If you are going to load at 454 pressures multiple times, spend the money on 454 brass. Save your 45 Colt brass for magnum loads and lower loads.


45 Colt brass IS NOT WEAK. Just not as strong as 454 Brass.
