I don't doubt that for a second. That's why I spent an hour yesterday pulling bullets. I'm not going to mess with it. I guess the point of my original post was that there is so much mis-information or conflicting information.
I guess the thing that really got me wondering was seeing the chart on burn rates that you posted a few days back. I've been using Clays for .45ACP for quite a while. Clays was quite high in the list as far as burn rate (#10 if I remember right). The load I've been using (based on a reloading manual I have) is 3.7gr. This load leaves a lot of empty space in the case.
I've loaded and shot literally thousands of rounds with no issues - but I'm wondering if I'm spinning the roulette wheel.
Dave, one again, your experience and knowledge is greatly appreciated.
BTW - do you happen to have a compact 1911? I was cutting leather for my new RIA last night, and inadvertently flipped the patterns. So, I've got the pieces for a lefty.
