Okay, I've recently started reloading again and have a question I can not find a clear answer for. CAn I use my Lee 45 colt dies to reload for the 454 casull? Seems like I should be able to, but any input as to adjustments would be appreciated. Thanks.

the short answer is YES you can , the long version is Yes you can you will have to left the resize/Decap stem up abit more and to load the slug in the die you will have to set the seating die up about 0.100" above the shell holder .

I think it is easier to reload .45 longs with a .454 die than it is the other way around.
