Ok, now I'm a bit confused...LOL
Campro site,says they are and can be loaded ,the same as FMJ.
Dog on has two loads.Lead WC and FMJ, with the lead WC using more powder.
The max charge,with FMJ is less than min load with lead WC.
I loaded a 100 with 6.5 g of CFE. So if I should've followed the lead recipe,I'm way under min load then?

I should have added that at 45acp velocities you can use which ever you want. Before i got into casting i would (and still do if i find plated for cheap) load any plated bullet to FMJ velocities in any pistol calibre's. The only time i had plating being stripped off due to speed was using muzzle loader bullets in my 500 mag.
If it's your first time using the powder i wouldn't have loaded 100 rounds in case they don't cycle the action but regardless i would have started at 6.5gr as well. load up 10-20 rounds at 6.5 then the same 10-20 rounds up to 7.5gr in .5gr increments. Find the best load of those then fine tune further in 0.1 or 0.2 increments.
