45 caliber help
I was given a box of bullets and can't find any load data for it. I can only find data for JSWC.

Does anybody have the COL, Min and Max data for 45 ACP using TiteGroup powder?

It's one problem using cast bullets, there are so many styles. I would load them using 200gLSCW data. OAL long enough to get the shoulder just above the case to start. Good luck w/ the .451" size, I prefer .452" in lead bullets.

I use bulleye powder in my 45's auto and cowboys use Lymans reloading charts or any others you come across.

I have a mold that makes a bullet like that. The design is intended for midrange semiwadcutter match ammo.

Have had to throat every pistol I've wanted to shoot those things in.

I suspect that 3.5 to 5.3 grains of Bullseye would be a decent working load range for this projectile depending on your intended use.

Be careful not to double charge .45 ACP with Bullseye or 231.

Smiler Hey ruger on the unique the lee load data for 185gr. is 8.0 velocity is 1010 this is on the start grs. and know more then 8.2 on max which is 1030 FPS,
Unvirsal is 6.8 gr. which is 939 FPS, and max is 7.2 @ 993 FPS, I dont believe I would use the max at all if you do I would just work up to it slow be safe later Roger NRA member
