Any reccomendations for .45 ACP with 200 grain LSWC, do not want a low speed target load. More around 900 fps in that are, kind of like hard balls velocities.
I've been looking on forums to see if anyone else has used Gr. Dot. I've got about 4lbs of it I can load. Don't load shotshells anymore. Ive seen loads from 4gr. to 6gr. and all with varying velocities. Guess we'll have to experiment. Let you know what I find out.bearandoldman said:Any reccomendations for .45 ACP with 200 grain LSWC, do not want a low speed target load.

Are you tied to Green Dot? I run 200's at a little over 900 to make USPSA Power Factor and use Clays to do it. Clean, accurate and soft shooting.

My lead ones were well lubed and I watced for pressure very carefully, but I've been loading 5 grains of Green Dot for a couple years now with 200 gr RNFP and it's the most accurate load I've seen come out of my 45s. BTW - there were no pressure signs at all, it actually feels very comfortable to shoot and the Green Dot gives a nice "push" instead of a snap. An additonal benefit is that Green Dot is much lower pressure than many other powders.
