Saiga 12... you have some firepower with that. Imagine the bad things that would happen when the druggie or thug breaks into your house. I imagine any load would do. Particularly with 3-4 rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger. There is going to be a "cleanup needed in aisle 3".
45 Colt is a weird round Lots of room and very little pressure. I use unique or 231. Both are position insensitive. I have a Bond Arms in 45colt. It is hand grenade with full power loads.

I ended up getting a Dillon 550 because the square deal was limited to pistol only, and even though right now I'm only loading pistol rounds, I would like to eventually load rifle rounds. Basically doing exactly what Old Mechanic is doing now, get rid of that corrosive stuff while firing the beater Mosin Nagant's.
Might start reloading .410 Gauge shotguns as well, since we have a few that use the round and rarely bring them out because of cost. Even though it's half the charge of a 12 gauge, it's nearly twice as much! Ridiculous. It's actually cheaper to feed my Saiga 12 than it is to feed the single shot .410.
