Jim, I was lucky enough to pick up a new, unloaded box of balloon headed Winchester .45 Colt brass. I have often thought of loading them up. It hate to since they have made it this long and are still untouched.
I could pour some powder in them and get a better idea what they would hold if that would be of interest to anyone.
