Folks, long time lurker but first time poster.
I have been reloading for a short time now and I really enjoy the hobby. I have been reloading for .45 acp with Rainier Plated and Precision Delta FMJ bullets. I'm ok with these but I would like to lower my cost somewhat. I've been looking into using the 230gr LRN bullets from Missouri Bullet Co. They're close to me and I see good reviews for their bullets.
Currently I use 7.9 grs of AA #5 with the 230gr FMJ and an OAL 0f 1.265. I plan on starting with this load as my Lee manual states that this is within the boundaries for a Lead RN bullet.
My question pertains to load specifics. Is there any other difference between loading lead and loading for jacketed that I should be aware of?
Thanx...
