I ordered a second Square Deal press from Dillon so I could set up dedicated presses for small primer and large primer. It's a pain to swap everything out.
I already had toolheads for my straightwall calibers: 44 mag, 357, 9 mm and 45 ACP.
But you can't order the Square Deal without a caliber dies, etc, so I got the 45 Colt caliber.
Now I'm hankering for a Colt SAA and Winchester 1873 (or 1866), both in 45 Colt.
Thing is, there's no brass for the 45 Colt except maybe on Gunbroker. And I'm not willing to mortgage the farm to buy anything from those pirates.
I understand the hot calibers being scarce. But 45 Colt doesn't seem like it would be in such demand.
Unless the companies that make brass have suspended production of lesser demand calibers in order to ramp up manufacture of high demand product?
Anyhoo, I guess I'll wait to buy any new caliber guns till later.
