.45 ACP loads?

[CZ Man]

Just wondering what you guys out there find works best in your 1911 .45's. I've been loading for a while, but I'm thinking of finding a new load for my 45s. Preferably one that works well for both gov't models AND commander models. Any ideas or info appreciated.

 

[IDPACONVERT]

I use 6gr of Win 231 behind a 200gr SWC

 

[RePete]

5.0gr Bullseye under a 230gr CMJ or a 200gr LSWC.

 

[Hitzy]

HS6 is my go to powder for the .45.......(9mm too)

The classic, at 847fps: 5.1gr titegroup under a 230gr X-Treme copper clad bullet. clean, cheap, flows well in your progressive press.

 

[shugrnutz]

4.8gr. Bullseye and a 230gr. LRN
6.1gr. IMR 7625 and a 230gr. LRN

 

[The Hippie]

4.5 grains of win231 with a 230grain lead round nose bullet.
it only goes 750 fps, but it works for now.

I'm using 4.7g of Titegroup with a 230g copper clad round nose. Works well with my Para SSP, Sig 220 and Glock 21.

 

[JohnS]

how about a load useing 185gr swc with titegroup powder?

 

[t-star]

I use 6gr of Win 231 behind a 200gr SWC

5.3 Gr Win 231 under 200 gr LSWC will give you IPSC/IDPA PF . The load is very accurate with reasonably light recoil. My faourite load for playing the games.

Take care

45acp

I shoot a Para LTD with 5.3g of N320 and a 200g Montana Gold bullet at about 840fps. I'll never change again.

 

[Rod B]

5.0gr Bullseye under a 230gr CMJ or a 200gr LSWC.

+1. This load works for me.

Anyone had good results with Unique? I'm planning to start testing some loads between 5.5 and 6.5 this weekend, with plated 230 grain bullets.

 

[Canuck44]

I have a friend down in North Carolina that swears by Unique in his ,45acp. I found it dirtier than 231 but then I shoot lead and must of the gunk build up comes from the lube. Also it does not meter as well as 231.

Take Care

I really like Unique for 45acp. I forget the exact recipes but I've used Unique with 200gr and 230gr jacketed bullets with great results out of both commander and government models. It's not as clean as some but then again it's not as dirty as others. I've found it to be very accurate with the mild loads.
