Jack,

If you will separate, I'd be interested in the 9mm conversion with tool head at $100. Could do PayPal FF or personal check if you will. Let me know please.

Thank you to everyone for the info & advice. I'm looking forward to giving tthis a try.

Thanks Again,

You don't make it clear, but I assume you are talking about 250 grain bullets in a .45 Colt RIFLE load.

 

That would be fine, and especially useful with a Marlin rifle with it's standard OVERSIZE chamber that is hard to seal up from the blow back of combustion gases.

 

Where a 250 grain bullet usually CANNOT be made to work is in the .45 auto case for your pistol.  If you seat most 250 grain bullets deep enough to meet the max OAL length for that cartridge, the base of the bullet swells the case enough to cause a bulge there, and some rounds will not chamber.

 

Its in reference to PISTOL loads that you saw most of the comments about using a 230 grain bullet instead of a 200 grain bullet.  There's so slight a difference there that I don't care, and I continue to shoot a 200 grain Truncated Cone slug (both in pistol and rifle).  THAT really helps ME keep things simple.

 

good luck, GJ

Joe---I knew about 250's in the rifle and why I got them, just haven't used them yet! I kinda figured the reason not in ACP was the amount they need to be seated. My question mostly of curiosity and I thank you so much for the input. As soon as my parts from Dillon get here I can start working up a load.

That's what I thought at first, but saw some threads saying that they went from 200 to 230 to reduce recoil. Seemed odd to me, but more than one said it!

Also, is there a way to post without filling out all the questions at the bottom everytime??

Just managed to join the forum last night. Took a bit since WR moved and just guessed at SASS #4 ! Wow I feel like earned joining!

Anyhow, I've been reading this load section and see most are using 230gr. RN bullets or 200gr. RNFP. I'm curious as to why no one seems to use 250gr. RNFP at a lower velocity? I was figuring that way I might reduce blow-by in the Marlin and reach PF easier in the pistol. Is it due to case capacity, as the 250 is about an 1/8 longer? I have lots of 200gr. RNFP that I use in CAS, but bought some 250's to try and haven't yet.
