Bought some of hornady's FTX in 45 colt. Had to shave down casings from 1.275 to 1.215. Which now means cases are useless for other bullets. Can't seat bullet where case rim meets groove around bullet, or overall length is too short by around .005". Can't get a crimp on bullet with Lee dies case too short, from what I understand hornady has a die that can (I don't but plan on getting one). Plan on shooting out of ruger vaquero and a single shot H&R rifle. Only loaded 50 didn't want to trim any more cases will reload at least one more time since I bought 100 bullets. Won't be buying these bullets for any other caliber I understand cases have to be trimmed down quite a bit with others too. Just wondering if anybody has had any experience with any of these FTX bullets.
