BTW....I have used both a RCBS 45 ACP Taper Crimp die and a Redding 45 ACP Profile Crimp die, both adjusted UP in the press for 45 Colt rounds.
Looking forward to using it on my cast HBWC's seated flush with the case mouth with .45 Colt brass.
Not with this die, fiver. All it does is crimp. It's not threaded for a seating stem.the 45 colt one is great for seating then crimping SWC's meant for the ACP so I can run them through the lever rifle.
That was not a bad plan. Essentially you neck sized those 45 Colt cases. The rest of the case was a good fit for your revolver and so good to great accuracy should be expected.lol! back in the day/when I was semi-clueless.... Had a set of 45 ACP dies, and a Ruger BH 45 Colt I customized (cut bbl). And in my cheapness/Army budget/clueless days... 45 is 45, right?!? LOL! I figured the only dif was case length. SO I proceeded to load my 45 Colt with those 45 ACP dies. and that damned revolver (4 3/4" bbl) shot lights out!
Yup, Thats one of the ones I picked up... I prefer it on a cast bullet.Yeah, CWLONGSHOT, but for a .45 Colt?
yep,,, just an open top.Not with this die, fiver. All it does is crimp. It's not threaded for a seating stem.

EXACTLY WHY I LIKE IT!!!!!!Not a fan of the Redding taper dies myself, far too shallow a taper and they squish the bullet into a long cone before the mouth gets any semblance of a crimp.
