I'm stocking 28 different calibers. I only reload for about half of those, mostly the hand guns.
I've got 1911s in .45 and 10mm. I bought one for the sole purpose of changing the caliber. I can't decide which though, .460 rowland or .38 super.
Probably end up doing the .38.
or the .460.
there's about 10ish others I'd like to get in lever and bolt gun, a couple more in hand gun, and there's about four more calibers for the AR I want to get

Okay...here's a stupid question...10mm sounds kinda nice for a 1911, but where'd you get one? I mean I only looked at Colt, but they only sell in 10mm in the Delta Elite series.
I did see it (Gold Cup) in 38S, but then I'm like...what's the point. I realize you get more velocity out of the 38S, but that sounds like a lot (well some) trouble for nothing.
Can you load the 38S with the same 9mm dies? I would assume the diameter is the same, but you need to adjust for length....and I guess maybe the shellplate (or shell holder) is different? Or is it?
Not like I'm getting either anytime soon. I bought the Colt 1911 this year and the Henry .357mag :hearts: [size=78%]....and the reloading press...and bunch of supplies...[/size]
so I'm well over spent for quite a while.
Happy though....been wanting both that Henry and the Colt 1911 for many moons. That Henry is silk (that's a step up from Mix's "butter"). Well...maybe not on the redneck scale :snicker: but it's darn nice to shoot. I've shot more 357 mag this year since I got the Henry than I have in probably the last 15 years.
So what brand/model is your 10mm 1911?

Prolly a Rock Island Armory.. :snicker: (Wait, that's what mine is) :wackysmile: Hey, when ya want a big chrome .45 1911, you get what ya get.. :raspberry:

yer both right, I got the RIA when I started making hot 10mm rounds. The first run of Delta’s would crack the frame with standard factory ammo. That was supposedly fixed early, but I don’t want to chance it. The 10 has become quite popular the in the last 10 years. There are revolvers made for it, and XD and Block both make guns for it. If I win the lottery I’m going to have a marlin rechambered for it(or two). Once in a while a Bren will pop up on gunbroker too.
I’m not sure about the 9mm dies doing .38 super, but they should as they are both .355”. Ruger makes a Blackhawk convertible that shoots 9 and .357. I never understood how they make that work either. The barrel has to be at the bigger diameter.
just realized my AR list went up too, forgot to add the pistol caliber ones I want. Some years ago I found a guy that was milling AR lowers with a mag well that accepted the grease gun magazines. I should’ve bought several
these are the only two 1911s I have that are wearing the factory grips..

I know. The friend that taught me to reload probably has about 100 different die sets stacked up on his bench. He doesn't own dies unless he needs them.

8-0 I think I have 4. Can't even remember if you use .38 for .357 or if it's the same die. Been a minute (and a half) since I did any reloading.. How long does power stay viable? I've got a few cans out there.. It's more than a couple years old. :-\
