Quickload backup?

I found a recipe for 200gr SWC in an application for .45 Colt. It's off the Alliant Website.

Click here.

They call for 8.3 grains of Green Dot with CCI 300 primers. So I went ahead and plugged this into QuickLoad.

Could someone who has quickload make sure I'm not missing something?

The max pressure shows to be WAY too high for SAMMI Specs.

The Lead bullet measures: .647 long .452 Diameter. (I had to enter this manually.)

Thanks for the back up.

I would avoid that load as it is 4,990 (or more) over SAAMI max pressure of 14,000 PSI. I used Lyman bullet data and updated to your measurements.

Thanks jbovee. That's what I was seeing too. I appreciate the backup.

I'm going to call Alliant in the morning. I know Quickload isn't Gospel, but that's a lot of PSI's over the max.
