Ran 300 nickel .45 cases through the tumbler. Deprimed, flared the case and installed Federal primers. Now waiting on X-treme bullets to get here Monday. Really like the nickel cases.

I have a low slung holster that I have populated with nickle cases with FMJ bullets. The holster is for a .45 Colt replica Remington 1875 but I had to use .45 ACP cases as I couldn't located nickle plated .45 Colt. I have the alternate cylinder for .45 ACP so really not mismatched.RonBarnes wrote: Really like the nickel cases.

Do like they do in the movies. Carry a short action lever action in 44-40 Caliber and wear a shell belt with 45-70 cartridges in the shell loops.Macd wrote:I have a low slung holster that I have populated with nickle cases with FMJ bullets.

I didn't do any loading but I did score 1000 45 ACP SP brass for double the shipping . That'll be handy to use up the SPP and save the LPP for important things like 45 Colts and Schofield .

I purchased a combo of 45 ACP brass and XDEF bullets from X-TREME. Does anyone have experience using their brass. Looks a bit thinner than normal brass. Nice combo price though.

Loaded a hundred 45's with X-TREME 200 grain and 5.5 grains of ZIP. These are in the new X-TREME brass. Look great. Loaded another hundred nickel 45's with X-TREME 230 grain and 5.0 grains of ZIP. They look awesome. I really like the looks of the X-TREME combination.
