Your opinions would be most appreciated:
Purpose: quick reloads in USPSA/IPSC (Major PF) , IDPA (6 shot limit) and ICORE (6 shot limit) revolver divisons.
Problem: 45 ACP Round nose 230grain ammo in TC moon clips is slow to feed regardless of chamfering.
Potential solution: Spire point bullets appear faster to feed into cylinders but spire points may be too long for 45 ACP brass. 45 Colt needs speed loaders (way too slow) but (longer) 45 Win Mag can use starline moon clips. Heavy and slow bullets appear favorites in USPSA revolver.
I will start reloading with Lee Dies in 45 Win Mag for my Ruger Redhawk (6 shot model 5032 in 45ACP/COLT), using: 45 Winchester Magnum starline Brass, NOE Spirepoint 260 grain mold bullets, federal large pistol primers, and TC moonclips.
What do you guys think?
Thanks
Brian
Ps: I already have a S&W 929 (6.5 inch) and 610 (6 inch) which are great. This 4.2 inch Redhawk is a hoot!
