Bought some DRG 225gr cast lead FP 45acp bullets and am looking for loading data for them. The powders I have on hand are Titegroup, Clays, 700x and American Select. Thanks!
 
i would just use 230 gr load data myself. use a 230 grn and figure out the seating depth and use that depth on the 225gr FP.

first I would find out what overall length works in your gun.

Make up a dummy round and check fit with your barrel removed from your gun

you should be able to start with 230g cast Start Data for a 225g bullet

Most of the powder manufactures have load data on there sights

Start with the start data and work up
 
i just posted up the same topic not too long ago (another .45acp queston), i found 1.190 to 1.200 are good seating depths.
i have not used any of those powders so i cannot comment on that.
