So I moved a month after having a total knee replacement so there was a lot of things I couldn't do at the time, still can't for that matter, so my Mom and brother packed up everything for me. Now that I am able to start loading again I was getting everything unpacked and setup on my temporary bench so I could load up some rounds. Pulled a few surplus bullets out of some 7.62x54R rounds to replace with soft point bullets. Get the powder weighed out and everything and go to get my funnel to put the powder back in the rounds and what do I find? My funnel is missing. Start checking around for other things and I can't find my other collets that go to my kinetic puller, luckily I had the right one installed that fit the rounds I was pulling. Now I go to load up some 45 acp rounds so I can try out my new powder messure and what do I find out? That only one of my manuals is in the boxes of the reloading gear.:banghead:

Now to the point of the story besides next time my bench has to be packed up I'll do it myself no matter if I have to wait on packing it up till I am fully able to do it. Next matter is I don't have the manual I need right now without going through and unpacking and repackaging around 6 boxes of books since my bookshelf is not been brought from the house as of yet. Can someone please look up the load data on 45 ACP using 185 grain XTP rounds and longshot powder. The manual that I have found right now doesn't list that data. It does list the standard jacketed bullet data for that combo. I seem to remember that the data was a little different between the two and I don't want to take any chances. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks
 
Lyman 49, lee, or nosler does not show data for the XTP using longshot. Start with the lightest load and work your way up watching for pressure signs. If you have a chronograph you are that much ahead.
