anyone here use aa#5, or care to share your workup process?
x-treme 230grain RN plated bullet .452"
cci 300 lpp
magtech brass (new)
OAL 1.264"
load1: 7.7grains aa#5
load2: 7.9grains aa#5
load3: 8.1grains aa#5
crimp is .471". (same diameter as seated section of brass)
the dimensions are equivalent to a magtech factory round, except diameter is .002" wider (fatter bullet).
hdy/speer/accurate all list conflicting max loads between 7.8 and 8.7.
if this seems way off base please let me know before I go pickup my new rock island 1911 tomorrow! The gun you save could be mine . I'll have a chrony, and would like to work up to 850fps.. Will cci primers show any pressure signs in a 45acp? Max is pressure is only 20K psi right? Much less than 44 special/mag.
