I decided to try making some 45acp shotshells from 308win brass, does anyone have any good load data or advice for me?

I'm using 41 mag seat/size dies to make them, can't afford the nearly $300 for the actual shotshell die sets from RCBS.

I have the RCBS set, bought them a long time ago. Here is an internet article that I always refer to when making 45 ACP shotshells.

I actually read that one yesterday, a very good writeup.

But I can't get the final crimp to work right as my seating die seems to be messed up, so every one I try to finish looks like this.222
