I also like the same caliber. The style of yours and mine are different but both are the same old reliable .45 Colt. I like mine for the same reason you like yours. It is fun to shoot and an easy round to do a lot of different things with on the reloading table.
Here is my favorite rifle to shoot. It's an 1891 Argentine Mauser in 7.65mm. This gun was manufactured at the FN plant in 1892. I reload for this guy as well.
