Hey got a deal on some 200 truncated bullets made by Cam Pro, they appear to be jacketed but the website seems to suggest copper plated....
Only data on 200 grains for Bullseye is Speer bullets (GDHP @ 5.8 grains) (LSWC @ 4.6) quite a large variation...

Can anyone tell me about these bullets, share some experience... kinda want to use them but far too noobie to take any chances... I've been luck enough to find exact data on all other reloads... swc and such...

Thanks,
 
My old Lyman book gives 3.5 to 4.8 of Bullseye for a cast 200 grain, .45. 3.5 is given as the Accuracy Load. Very nice, very pleasant to shoot, target load. Daft that a 230 jacketed load is 3.5 to 4.6.
Load for the bullet weight and cast(plated bullets use cast data) or jacketed. Who made it or its shape doesn't matter. And TC's feed like hot dam.
Don't now where you got the idea a Gold dot is plated. Speer says otherwise. Not that it matters. Jacketed bullets are too expensive to shoot regularly.

Sorry Tazzy... Thought the thread was dead...

I ended up trying 3 loads as per the midway load map...

1st was 4.4grs.
2nd was 5.2grs.
3rd was 5.5 grs

Used Hornady HP/XTP and Midway FP as the closest looking projectile thingy...

The real kicker was seating the bullet... 1.15OAL when setup seat depth with factory .45 round... pressure frightened I backed off the seating dies to create OAL of 1.26... wouldn't chamber
I don't have the numbers but after some newbie frightened moments seated the bullet deeper with success and no pressure signs on the hottest... and it felt similar recoil-wise to my Norc .45 factory

Maybe I'm lucky but shot a few strings and can still use a keyboard (actually bad example (one handed typer)) but you get the idea... I'll be making a bunch at the 5.0 grain range just because I'm still a little scared of the shortened OAL

Not sure I did right please don't listen to me I'm way Newbie and don't wanna get anybody hurt... Its just what I did...
 
Thanks for replying.

I loaded up 50 rounds with 3.9gr of Bullseye with Federal magnum pistol primers at 1.178".

All fired reliably without any issues out of a Norinco 1911.

I used the Lyman 49th manual for reference.
