Love your gun and load Bea! I'm an unabashed White fan & those Shooting Stars are deadly in .45 also. I took my buck last year with one over 70 gr Black Mag 3. One thing I noticed was some of my White nipples were a little oversize and the CCI caps wouldn't seat all the way down against the priming compound. I polish them down to get the fit I want, although I went a little overboard with one and have to use Remington #10s on that one! No problem, those work well too. Matter of fact, I "tested" CCI Mags, RWS and Remington #10s side by side and the Remingtons sounded the loudest when fired though an empty barrel.
