Swaged 124-gr. Load for 45 ACP
TheIdahoanShow
This video documents my recent experiment with swaging 124-grain 9mm bullets up to .45 caliber so I could produce an unusually light-for-caliber .45 ACP load. The results were enigmatic: accuracy was reasonably good, in spite of the fact that almost all the bullets were keyholing.
Idaho was one of the last continental US states to be settled and, more so than some parts of the US, the culture of Idaho still retains a frontier spirit of self-reliance. As host of TheIdahoanShow on YouTube, I endeavor to produce videos capturing this enduring pioneer spirit, at least as it is practiced by this Idahoan. Of course, shooting and associated ancillary activities are an important part of Idahoan culture, and so many of my videos pertain in some way to the making or testing of firearms and/or ammunition. Here on the Reloaders’ Network, I have endeavored to consolidate this portion of my work as a reference for the reloading community.
