Here's one that I can think of, although there might be some smaller companies that load the loads you are looking for.  HTH.

As much as I love shooting my 45 Colts I HAVE to reload or there'd never be enough money for my wife's Valentines Day present!! ;D

Reloading is the best way go. I reload for all my guns except shotguns.

Get the dies.  You can tailor the load to the gun and you'll have more fun doing it.  I shoot more than ever since I started reloading.

If you don't reload now, this would be a great caliber to start with. With a small investment, you will be able to shoot any type of bullet/load you want. I still cringe when I think of the days I would "have " to buy factory ammo and pay out $50 to $60 dollars for 3 boxes of shells in order to shoot.

Check E-Bay for used equipment.  A used Rock Chucker press should be dirt cheap compared to a new one since there's just tons of them out there.

For the price of a couple a boxes 45lc factory loads you could get this set up and be reloading the day you get it, wish I seen this offer when I stated buying my equipment. :)
