Hodgdon .45 Colt High Pressure Data Warning

[Graybeard]

45 Colt High Pressure Data Warning: On page 132 of the 2004 Hodgdon Annual Manual are two lines of data using Longshot Powder in the standard 45 Colt section that were intended for use in the 45 Colt (Ruger, Freedom Arms & T/C only) section. These two lines of data appear in the 250gr. HDY XTP and 300gr. SIE JFP sections. DO NOT USE these loads in a standard Colt or any reproduction models, since excessive pressure may cause firearm damage. Failure to heed this warning could result in severe personal injury (Including Death) or gun damage to the user or bystander.

If you or anyone else knows of any other warnings or recalls feel free to start a thread here with the appropriate info. That's what this new forum is for.

I know there is a recall on Federal .45 Colt ammo too but I can't find it on their website to copy and paste it and I hate to have to type it all in.
