45 acp and TG

[area51]

Whats your experience with running TG in 45acp ?

4.8 under a 230 FMJ is real accurate.

My go to powder for .38, 9mm ,.40 and .45acp and Colt. Some say it's on the dirty side, but I am happy with it. I have been using CFE Pistol lately too, meters even better than TG.

Thanks J-cat. Want to load some Extremes 185 fp. I'll try some test loads for my 1911

good to know. I use it for 9 and 40 but want to try some for 38 with some extreme 148 wc I was thinking starting at 2.6 to see how they do from a 2" and 4" smith

I like Titegroup for not just .45 ACP, but several others as well, e. g. .38 Spl, .44 Spl (and light .44M), and .45 Colt. Like Bullseye and W231, TG is pretty versatile stuff.

In .45 ACP, 5.4gr TG under a 200gr cast boolit is my normal load. My "+P" load is 5.9gr. These are max book loads, yes, and so far, both of these loads have worked out well for me in the following firearms.

- Kimber Stainless II
- Glock 21
- Springfield 1911
- Remington 1911 R1
- Ruger SR45

If you like a steady diet of the +P loads, the Rugers and the Glock should handle those nicely; Glocks are pretty strong beasties, and Ruger actually rates both the SR45 and SR1911 for +P loads.

tried some 4.7 with 230 pills today. my glocks didn't like it but my 1911 was awesome. One ragged hole @ 7 yards in a 3" bullseye

I tried 4.6 under a 200 grn PRN in my glock 41, i was hitting the target so i guess they were working fine. I might stick with that for plinking rounds.

Bullseye and 231 is my to go powder but I am running so low is not funny

Have plenty of TG for now so i;ll play with that till I can get someone to trade me for BE, 231 or WST. Did you guys tried wst in 45 ? AWESOME !
