Hey guys, i've been looking around to try and find some slightly cheaper .45lc ammo. I ws wondering if any one has used these two brands and what you thought of them.

Bitteroot Valley

BVAC

Thanks Chris

I had a box of BVAC in .40 cal that someone gave me. They shot just fine as far as I can remember.

I make all my 45Colt ammo and have never used the two in your links however; 45Colt ammo is so simple that if you are looking for plinking ammo im sure it will do just fine.

What he said. "Roll your own". I can't think of an easier cartridge to load.

If I had a .45 colt I would load and cast for it. Since that cartridge was made for cast bullets it would really be a great cartridge to cast for, and you would save like 80% of the cost of even that Bitteroot valley ammo. Considering you can get all you need to load and cast for that cartridge for probably less than $500, and considering that loading will let you save on all the ammo you shoot in any of your guns, you should really consider that instead of paying $25/box for "cheap" ammo, if you don't already handload.

Hmm, i can get all the stuff to reload from my uncle. He may already have the needed dies and stuff too. So that could be an option lol. I guess i'll have to call him and see.

If you can do that then its def. worth it.
