Yet another stupid question, where does one procure mica?
Brownells and Midway sell powdered mica. My old container said Sinclar. Gold Bond works in a pinch. ..........Sorry for the pun

Kirk, have you measured the bullet diameter?
P.S. I have nothing but good to say about Missouri Bullet Co. Also, they have a choice of 12 BHN and 18 BHN in many of their bullets.
No, but I can next weekend when I am scheduled to reload again. Do you think .451 or .452 will matter?
Does not one want a higher Brinell score? Or do you use the low score for cowboy loads and such (close at steel)?
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!I . . . have . . . so . . . much . . . to . . . learn.

Most .45 ACP lead bullets are sized at 0.452". If you want to get really picky, then "slug the bore" with a pure lead slug and measure, then use bullets 0.001" to 0.002" larger than the groove diameter. If your bullets measure 0.454" (for example) you might need to size them.
Jacketed bullets are usually 0.451" for the .45 ACP. For the .45 Colt jacketed bullets are usually 0.452" and lead bullets vary, usually from 0.452" to 0.454"

I have to take the die out every so often and scrape the lube off.
When I am loading .45acp, mine sticks sometimes, it's a pain taking the die apart, cleaning the built up lube from the inside of the die, and resetting the die. So far .45 acp is the only cal that this has happened.
