This guide details a methodical approach to finding the most accurate load for a .45 Auto pistol, applicable to any handgun. It emphasizes starting from scratch, defining objectives, and using reliable data sources. The process involves selecting consistent components, employing linear interpolation for load development, and incrementally testing charges to achieve desired accuracy and function, while prioritizing safety and firearm compatibility.

This video from Deuce and Guns details three primary dangers associated with surplus ammunition: squib loads, improperly reloaded ammunition, and ammunition that has been tumbled. It explains how a squib load can lead to a catastrophic firearm failure if a second round is fired, how incorrect powder in reloads can cause over-pressure, and how tumbling can alter powder burn rates, potentially creating dangerous pressure spikes. The instructor emphasizes caution when using older or improperly stored ammunition.

This video provides a quick tip on selecting the right powder for reloading. It emphasizes consulting reloading manuals for caliber-specific information and understanding the difference between fast-burning powders for pistol/shotgun and slower-burning powders for rifle. The choice also depends on whether the goal is maximum velocity or economy loads.
