NEW MEMBER, JUST BOUGHT MOD. 625-6 45 ACP. BEEN LOADING 45 YEARS NEVER LOADED 45 AR. AM SET UP TO LOAD 45 ACP ON LEE 1000. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I CAN ADJUST ACP DIES TO LOAD AR BRASS?? DO NOT WANT TO BUY NEW DIES IF NOT NEEDED.

YES I HAVE MOON CLIPS AND SHOOT 45 ACP, BUT WOULD LIKE TO USE 45 AR FOR FUN SHOOTING...THATS WHAT I GOT IT FOR.

BEEN SHOOTING 44 MAG SINCE 1959 AND I STILL LOVE THEM.

CARRY 45 COMMANDER FOR LAWENFORCEMENT WORK BUT IT IS REVOLVERS FOR FUN!!!
 
Hello-
Yes, the ACP will work ;however, you will need another shellplate/holder. Dillion's ref.manual
does not list another that can be used.Best....

I load both 45ACP and 45 Autorim with the same RCBS dies with exactly the same die settings.All you need is an RCBS shellholder #8 to hold the Autorim brass.If you find problems, let me know, as I've been doing it for over 20 years.-Wally
 
45 ACP v 45 Auto Rim

Be sure to load from the AUTO RIM section of your reloading manual. There are differences in strengths of the Auto Rim guns. I know some of the "HOT" ACP loads can/will damage your gun.
