.45 Auto Rim vs .45 ACP Adjustments
« on: April 30, 2011, 11:41:57 am »
Hello everyone,

I load .45 Auto Rim currently but would like to know what adjustments, if any, I would have to make to load .45 ACP (other than changing the shell holder plate). Anybody have any experience or suggestions?  Thanks.

René

Assuming you are shooting the same bullet and load (which you can), you shouldn't have to change anything except the shell plate.

That's Correct
I loaded some when I was on the Police Department in the 60's.....
Looking thru my stuff I found 3-1/2 boxes of loaded 45 AR in brown boxes
with Jim Clarks name on them......
