Blaster Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I just inherited a dillion 1050 in 45acp. 45 brass is just as cheap as 9mm and bullets not that much more.So the big question is mag capacity , any idea Link to comment
HoMiE Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 They make 26rd magazines. why not just get another die set for the 1050? Link to comment
RJH Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 for pcc my idea would be to trade/sell the 45 setup and get a 9mm setup. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hello: Get a Thompson with a 50 round drum. Really just get a 9mm die set and a 9mm conversion and start reloading. Thanks, Eric Link to comment

Somehow i forgot about a Thompson with a drum, damn unAmerican of me I know, so i change my vote to tommy gun. If you cant swing the tommy gun then just be lame like the rest of us and go with a 9 haha Link to comment
biggulp Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I was going to joke about buying a gun because you have a set of dies for a certain caliber, then I remember I've bought guns because I found half a box of ammo in a caliber I didn't own If you are actually looking for a PCC in .45, go get a Kriss Vector (preferably an SBR). The G21 mags + extension are supposed to be 25 rounds, but most of mine hold 26 or 27. A little thump, but accurate and oddly well balanced. Link to comment
Neomet Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I vote for the Thompson. If I could figure out a way to operate the righty controls (I'm a lefty) I would seriously consider it just for the cool/fun factor and because dad fought with one in WWII. I'm not going to be winning anything even if I show up with a Dillon minigun so why not?? Link to comment
brytec Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Talk to Tim from taccom3g.com ! He has all the upgrades you need! One of the best in the business! He shot 45acp carbine during the Lucas oil championships in Aug. he had me try it out and I shot it and felt similar to 9mm carbines! Link to comment
ToddKS Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If you are at all serious about shooting PCC I would get a 9mm conversion kit and dies for the 1050. If you a just looking to build a 45 caliber PCC then proceed.The savings on bullets will quickly cover the cost of the conversion kit if you shoot very much. Link to comment
Garrett Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 There are a few .45 options out there. Not a whole lot, though. Link to comment
Garmil Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 There is the guard, the lone wolf piston one, and a bunch of companies making normal Glock mag versions. Link to comment
Cavy Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Quarter circle 10 has one also. Might be fun! Link to comment

As an example Montana Gold 9 mm 124 gr JHP are $345 for a case of 3750 while their .45 230 gr JHPs are $368 for a case of 1900. That's a over twice as expensive per bullet for the 45's. Another problem is that .45 ACP brass is now made with both large and small primer pockets so, unless you are buying new brass only, you have to sort and separate the cases by primer size. Then you either settle on one primer size and discard the rest of the brass or reset your primer station for each one. 9mm brass all takes the same primer size.
