45 Winchester Magnum
Anybody have experience loading this round?

Can you really use 45 ACP dies to load it?

Any tips or things I should watch for in loading this round, quirks, hazards?

Can the Rainier 230 gr. RN be used in this? Or should I stick with regular 230 gr. RN for a "gravel pit" load.

Any help would be appreciated.

you didn't say what gun you're shooting it in, but i've been loading it for the lar grizzly for quite a while, and a friend has the new wildley for it. can't say much about the t/c. anyway yes you can use 45 acp dies, my loads are 17 gr of bluedot and a 230 gr or 21.3 gr of bluedot and a 185. the plated bullets will work just fine, but to function in a auto the round is to hot for cast bullets. those loads work fine in both the grizzly and wildley. it is a lounedboomer, eargesplitter however
