Great replies guys ... I am going to test fire my 1911 with the 185 JHP @ 1.255 and see how she functions. I've loaded em with Winchester 231 @ 5.2 grains.
I will report what happens.
Thanks,

The manual I have is:
"Speer Reloading Manual Rifle and Pistol Number 13"
I appreciate the offer of the second manual. I may end up taking you up on that, but I want to do a little research first.
Thanks,

Hello to all,
My question is why there are different OAL for different bullets???
I've loaded and shot about 300 rounds of 45 ACP with 230Grain Plated RN Bullets ... their OAL was between 1.258 and 1.260 per the Speer Manual.
According to everything I've read the maximum cartridge...
Hello to all,
I asked this question in the competition section, but got no answers.
Can someone help me with a recipe for Nosler 185 grain JHP bullets??
The powder I have on hand is W231 and I want the loads for IPSC / USPSA. I want to make major using a standard 5" 1911. I've usually...
I understand they are expensive. I wouldn't be shooting them except that a fellow club member sold them to me for cheap. He sold 1000 of them for about 80.00 so I figured I might as well use them.
Thanks,

Has anyone out there loaded the Nosler 185 Grain JHP Bullets using W231???
I am looking for a good load for IPSC ... want to make major using a standard 1911 5" barrel. According to my book I would be loading 6.6 Grains, but I was wondering how low you all have taken the number.
ALSO: I...
Hey Salty,
Just FYI, They told me it would be a week or 2 ... ummm 2 months ago. That wait was a killer so I ended up looking online for used.

Steve C,
I did note that I couldn't find these bullets in any of my 3 books, but figured it was just not a normal load. I bought them on Ebay from a guy for about $20.00 and now I am wondering if he had the description of 45 ACP correct. I think I'll toss these bullets and buy some from a...
Hello to all,
OK, I've loaded my first batch of 45 ACP last night. It was about 455 rounds. I went out and shot them today and they were very nice. The first batch used all 230 Grain Round Nose Metal Jacketed Bullets and they ran fine.
The second batch today is using a semi wad cutter...
I appreciate all the help guys. I'll call Ohaus and RCBS tomorrow and see if they will replace them a good price. IF not then I'll order from MidwayUSA.
Thanks,

Hello Everyone,
I have torn up the little pan that came with my RCBS 10-10 scale. I didn't notice if fell to the floor in the garage ... the car finished the job. I can't get the scale to zero now and can't measure reliably without it.
Can someone point me to a place that sells parts...
Hello to all,
I did try doing a search for this subject, but came up empty handed. Can you give me the loads you shoot for IPSC / USPSA for 40 S&W it would be appreciated. I am shooting a CZ Tactical Sport in 40 with a 5 inch barrel.
IF you know of a thread for this subject please direct...
Ok guys,
If any of you Hornady LNL AP guys live near Odessa / Midland TX I am new to reloading, just got a used LNL AP and could use some serious help adjusting and starting out.
PM me if you can help. I would be glad to buy a nice steak dinner in exchange for the help.
Thanks,
Joe
I have a buddy selling a case feeder he had on his Dillon 550 for a very good price, but my press is a Hornady LNL AP.
SO, will the Dillon 550 Case Feeder work on my Hornady LNL AP?
Thought someone might know.
Thanks,
Joe
Let me rephrase ...
Ok I know STI is custom ... however, I have seen shops like Brazos that sell the stock STI with xyz for upgrades.
My question is which are the shops like Brazos does the best custom work on an STI you buy from them for the money.
Thanks,
Joe
