Hi! Need some advice and any info I can get. I need to find a powder to load .45 ACP to military (hardball) specs. I like Power Pistol, but it's kinda pricey.

Stopped in a gun store yesterday, and saw some
Cheddite "Rex" powder.

It looked interesting. Comes in a metal canister (not too sure I like that, but I can get around it), and had loading data on the can for .45 ACP. The price was DEFINITELY right--$22.00 for a one kilogram can (2.2 lbs).

Has any one used this powder? Does anyone currently use it? How is it--clean, dirty?

From the charge weight listed--4.8 grains for the 230 grain bullet--sounds in the same league as Clays.

Any information is helpful.

Just posted a reply to keep it current, since I posted the original topic kinda late.

That data is for lead bullets, not hardball.

And although $22 is cheap, it can be had for around $17.50 per kilo.

Powder is Hungarian in origin...

Try 10.2 grains of Blue Dot.
