Don't own one, but I shoot a lot of .45 Colt, normally and have pretty much run out of large pistol primers, but have a decent quantity of small pistol and also small rifle, which I'm told the .454 uses.
Any problems with buying a quantity of Casull brass and trimming it to .45 Colt length to shoot with small primers? I hate the idea of wasting specialized brass, but I wouldn't do it to very many.
If I understand correctly, the cases are dimensionally the same except for length, is that correct? I'm sure the brass is stronger somehow than .45 Colt brass, does that equate to thicker case walls and different internal volume? I onlt shoot moderate loads in my .45 Colts, and all are strong guns. Would I need to adjust loads much?
