I decided to use my old many times fired 454 cases for 45 Colt loads. But it didn't quite work out. I used 255 grn FP plated bullets, 2400 ~ 20grn and CCI 450 small rifle magnum primers for ~1150 fps. But so far I've had a bunch of misfires and no-goes ~1 / 7.
Is this likely a primer problem, powder problem or is this combination of of components bad?
I've had the primers for a long time, ~10 years, the powder ~5 years. But always stored in sealed containers with desiccant.
This looks like good strikes to me
I will be trying newer regular rifle primers, Unique and 2400 from another can romorrow.
