For a fun plinking load, Load a 45 ACP case base first into the 475 case, that's after dropping 10.0 grs. 231 powder. Pest and or short range Varmint load. At 15' will penetrate about 2 1/2 2x4's. Accurate to about 50-75'... Bell 475 case mouth to accept 45ACP case, seat to AOL that will function in your cylinder.Only needs enough crimp to straighten 475 case. This was shown to me by Jim Taylor.

And we want to burn up a 45 brass case instead of a lead bullet because? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) If we are talking about a cracked or otherwise unuseable case please disreguard....

That was the one I settled on after starting around 6 gr. Tried to chrono in the shop. Screens do not read well under florescent. lights I would estimate about 1100-1200 fps. Not exactly aerodynamic but a fun plaything. Can you imagine a pathologist finding this during an autopsy?

Can you imagine a pathologist finding this during an autopsy? I'm confident the response would include language not acceptable for the board ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Since the unwashed masses generally refer to any cartridge as a BULLET no response would surprise me. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

2 Dogs : Because I can, usually pick up for free at local range. Don't own a 45ACP gun at present. First time in nearly 40 years.
