Hi Dennis. Laser Cast is a brand of cast bullets. I've shot thousands of them over the years. They work very well for high velocity loads but I think they're a bit hard for lower speed loads. Matt

I owned one when they first came out. Unfortunately I had to sell it around my divorce. Anyway, I remember someone on Glocktalk had one reamed out to accept 10mm. The biggest problem was finding a gunsmith willing to work with the TI. Some talk of galling if not done right. I used it as a daily carry piece and loved it.

That's been my stance on it. He's convinced that they'll be ok in his blackhawk. It probably will be but I don't think $6 worth of components is worth the risk. whatmeworry: I just might do that or a Dillon 550. He won't need one for a bit, He loaded up all the components that I sent home with him over the last two months. Just over 3000 rounds on a single stage! Takes me back to college days when I was shooting 500-600 rounds a week and loading it all on my Rockchucker.

Just the one round. Quite obvious when you go from factory hardball to that. I'd like to crono a few of them but He lives 1300 miles away. Those fast powders do funny things up that high.

Hi all. This is my first post here and just wanted to relate a tale for all of us to remember to stay focused while reloading. I've been shooting for several years and just got my father started into action pistol shooting this past year. He is an avid hunter and rifle shooter/reloader. I sent him off with a set of .45 dies and several thousand cases and 200gr LSWC's to get him started. I recommended a load of 5.3grns of Win 231 that had always given me good results. In his excitement to get started he made a mistake. He set his scale at 5grns and then counted out 3 more. Yep, 3grns instead of .3grns. Thankfully both he and his shiny new Kimber CDP Pro are just fine and he only loaded 100 of those. He has a Ruger Blackhawk with the .45 ACP conversion cylinder so he doesn't have to pull them all apart. Even after 40+ years of reloading, we can all make mistakes. Hope we can all learn from this, I know he has.
