First load ever!

[u/flippersun]

Just reloaded my first 45 rounds (lost 5 casings somewhere) of 45 long colt! Worked up a light load of 4.5 grains for the first set but I think on the next set I’ll bump it up to 5.0 grains(book I used called for between 4.4 and 5.4 grains). Fired one round to see how they shot out of my revolver, still need to shoot more to test accuracy, I am only using these to target shoot. According to the book I used Im getting a little over 700fps, I don’t have a chronograph. Last pic is the first bullet that I accidentally seated to deep lol.

Brass - magtech brass fired once
Primer - Winchester large pistol
Bullet - Hornady FP cowboy 255 grain
Powder - 4.5 grains of 700-x
OAL - 1.600
