Well, I now have enough .45 and .223 loaded to do a test run. I’m a total newbie at this, and I think I’ve done everything right (I was extra careful and weighed every round). I hope to make it to the range tomorrow or Wednesday to see how well they work.

If all goes well I’ll crank out a few hundred rounds of .45 to use at the next fun steel shoot, and start working on figuring out a decent round for the WAHTF rifle I built.
