.45 ACP 230 LRN Recipe
Anyone have a good starting point for the .45 ACP 230 gr Lead Round Nose using Bullseye powder? My reloading book is worthless for pistol loads (Nosler...great for rifles though!) and I cant find ANYTHING on the net and am starting to wonder if this powder shouldnt be used on lead projectiles. Currently, this is the only pistol powder I have, so if need be, I will have to get another kind.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |

in fact I just changed out my springs in my 1911 so I need to load up some starting at 4.0 and make sure my loads are going to work in my gun |

I used to load 200 grain lead SWC with 4.8 grains of Winchester 231 and got good results. Never loaded 230 grain bullets.

Thanks guys.
Will the plated bullets be roughly the same pressure wise as the moly coated? I've been reloading the Rainier plated 230 RN bullets at 5.0 gr with no problems.... I think I need a better understanding of how this works. If a bullet is more "slippery" in the barrel, like lead or moly coated lead, given the same amount of powder as a jacketed type (or something not as "slippery"), will the pressure increase or decrease? And will speed increase or decrease? I'm trying to find out whether a lead round will need more powder to get the same speed as a jacketed round, or less powder to get the same speed. Basically, I need to know the relationship between the softness/slipperiness of the bullet and the speed/pressure of the bullet. |
