Which powder are you using for 45 ACP?

[saskcop]

H-110 is the same as W296

That's right, you wouldn't want to mix up W231 and H110. Could be disastrous.

I back ordered 3 Lbs from Cabelas.ca a few months ago finally received it recently.

Out of curiosity...they wanted $175 to ship 2 lbs of powder inside Ontario. Did they nick you with insane shipping or did you pick up?

 

[Somerset Bar]

7.0 gr of 800-X behind Hornady 230 GR FMJ-RN

I just grabbed a pound of this yesterday, how does it shoot for you?

 

[john92awd]

Just scored a pound of tightgroup I'm going to try on 45acp. Have been using 700x with great success and w231 also.

Ya, that's the one thanks.
My buddy in BC uses W231 for his 45 loads, I've never seen that one in stock so I've never tried it. Universal and Titegroup are the ones I've used the most.

I just started reloading for 45. Bought a 2 tone Norinco with adjustable sights in May. About 300 rounds through it so far. Using bullseye with my own 230 gr RN's. Like the load. Like the gun.

W231 w/ 200 grain LSWC from Cactus Plains Ammunition in Saskatchewan

Campro 230gr with either 6.0gr of winchester autocomp or 4.5gr tight group

No I live in Saskatoon so it was a local pickup for me.

Sorry for the OT, where do you guys get your 45 ACP powders? I look every online vendor but can't find one in stock. thanks

 

[HammerliSP20]

Berry's 200 gr round shoulder with 6.2 gr of VV N340.

I got lucky and picked up several 2 kg containers of N340 when Hirsch had it in stock. The good old days.

 

[turbo_bird]

I've been loading lots of Titegroup for mine. Somewhere between 5.1 to 5.5g to make major depending on the bullet. Berrys 185 hollow base, Berrys 200 rs, 200g hard cast swc, Campro 200 flat points. They all see to shoot pretty good out of my Norc.

My son and I are both shooting this load and are satisfied with accuracy and consistency. We use 800-X because that's what we could get that worked. Such is life...

 

[Melnibonean]

or 4.5gr tight group

Not to derail....but what COAL are you loading to? And do you not find that load "snappy"?

You gotta find out what powders suit your needs then check every LGS about a thousand times.... then when you can't find any, you have to back order some and wa it a long time for it to come in

 

[xyzrsa]

Any one use VV 3N37?

 

[saskcop]

I haven't used VV powders, but am tempted to try as the reports are excellent and they are supposed to be very clean. Pricey though - if you can find them.
