I've used Lee dies for years. I've got no complaints about them, they do the job well.
I just received a set of Lee 45LC dies in the mail from Midway USA today. It's amazing how fast they ship things out to you.
Anybody have any "favorite loads" with a 255gr bullet and W231 powder ?

You are more than welcome Haka. W231 should be a good powder as it is damn close to the burn rate of Green Dot and I used a lot of that in my shotgunning days. It was good for 12. 20 and 28 gage and works well in .38 Special and .45ACP also.

I loaded up some 45LC's for the first time, and they turned out great! Used the roll crimp on the Lee dies. It is a cool looking round.

I use the Lee, 4 die sets for both .38/.357 and .45ACP. never had a problem. Well, one time did not crimp some and tossed them into the ammo box, we did have a problem then.
