I apparently do things just slightly different than the rest of the fine folks who answered here. I load my C45S brass on a Dillon 550 using my .45 Colt shell plate and my Lee .45ACP dies, including the factory crimp die. I can't speak to the use of W231/HP38 because I use Clays for my C45S loads. Once upon a time I had a copy of what Hodgdon said about determining loads with their powders that weren't listed in their reloading data but I'm not sure what I did with it. It was pretty handy.

This!

The bullet going off inside the rifle? Seriously?

I retired from my paying job just over 6 years ago. I now spend a lot of my time trying to keep my wife from working me to death on the ranch. Retirement is the best job I’ve ever had. They pay me to stay home!
