Anyone here shoot a 625-2 w/ .45 auto rim brass?

hock.gifI hope that load is a typo.  Don't ruin a good gun.  That is a maximum load in .45 Long Colt!!!  Look at this site for safe loads.  http://www.reloadammo.com/reload.htm

I have 625 JM.  

I can't really help with the auto rim loads.  

I shoot regular .45acp.  I load 4.7gr of 231win, with a 200gr LSWC.  I like the load a lot.

I shoot .45 acp out mine as well, seems to like 5.5 grains unique.  I use the same load out of my 1911. Point of impact is the same w/ 230 grain rn cast lead loads.

Loading & unloading the moon clips is not alot of fun. I heard the plastic (not sure of the manufacturer) are alot easier, but they do wear out.

Midway has a pretty good deal on the starline auto rim brass, It seems to wear forever. I am on the 8th loading on the first 100 I got & still looking good.

I was recommended this mooning/demooning tool by a friend/fellow ARFCOM'er.  The tool works great, and makes loading and unloading moon clips a breeze.
