New Pea Shooter
Just kinda backed my way into a NIB Kimber 1911 Custom II Two Tone 45 ACP 5” and a new Galco Silhouette holster for the same . Haven’t owned a 1911 in four or five years but after the trip to the range in the Philippines with the old WWII beater 1911 I figured it was time again !

Re: New Pea Shooter
I’ve got RCBS non carbide dies for the 45 already but I think I’m gonna get a Lee Loadmaster from one of our distributors and leave it setup for the 45 exclusively . If my affliction talks me into getting a 1911 10mm I’ll most likely get another Loadmaster and leave it setup for the 10mm as well .

Re: New Pea Shooter
Makes sense - the presses are inexpensive enough that if you have bench space you may as well do it that way.6pt-sika wrote: ↑Sat Apr 07, 2018 1:41 pm I’ve got RCBS non carbide dies for the 45 already but I think I’m gonna get a Lee Loadmaster from one of our distributors and leave it setup for the 45 exclusively .

Re: New Pea Shooter
Won the Kimber on GB Friday evening , paid and emailed FFL Saturday and had the gun in hand MONDAY !
Now I'm waiting for the holster , the Lee loader and 400 rounds of WIN hardball as well as a couple bullet molds for 45 ACP .

Re: New Pea Shooter
Well my loader , ammo and molds are scheduled to arrive tommorrow ! Already have powder and primers and I scratched thru my junk and found a .451 lubrisizer die . So Monday or tommorrow I’ll see if I can’t cast 100 or so bullets for this thing !

Re: New Pea Shooter
Finally got around to shooting this Kimber and I was not displeased . I suppose after I move some stuff a Kimber or Remington 1911 6” in 10mm is on the horizon .

Re: New Pea Shooter
Is backing your way into a Kimber 1911 like finding change in between the couch cushions? I'd certainly like to stumble over one of those Kimbers. I've got a Colt from the mid-90's and it simply does not have the precision machining that the Kimber enjoys.

Cool, grats on your new gun.

Well it wasn’t free !

Re: New Pea Shooter
I bought a new Lyman four cavity 452374 and a Lee six cavity 452-228 . Thursday at the shop I cast a few over 200 of each design and lube sized them in a new RCBS .452 die . Wednesday someone brought in 900 pieces of NEW Starline 45 ACP and a set of RCBS carbide dies , they wanted $60 for the whole mess so I took possession . See if this evening or Sunday I can get the Lee Loadmaster set up and possibly running .

Re: New Pea Shooter
Wanna see how this Kimber does with the two cast bullets I’ve cast , if it does semi well I may get an NOE four cavity RG4 in a 230 grain HP . It’s my intention to use cast in my carry loads and preferably HP’s .

Re: New Pea Shooter
Well I just completed an order to NOE for a RG4 452-232HP plain base mold . And for kicks and giggle ordered an 434-234GC HP RG2 as well .
Hopefully I can get the 232 HP to shoot well in my Kimber and if thats the case it'll most likely get the nod for my self/personal defense load or carry load whateva ya care to call it !
The 434-234GC in both FP and HP versions will be tried in a 444 rifle and my scoped Ruger Redhawk as well as the scoped Contender .
On a side note a friend gave me 500+ commercially cast 44 cal 200 grain wad cutters that seem to measure .430" . Might have to give them a try in the 444 as well . Just not go as hot as I usually do in the 444 .
