      4064- 24.5 grn w/ the 55 bullet for me.
      Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

      I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

      Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

          IMR4895, Varget or BL-C(2) will all work with all three bullet weights. Find what's available for a good price and try one of them.

              Winchester 748 makes good velocity with all 3 of those bullets.

                      I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

                      As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.

                                                      Hodgdon makes "Clays", "Universal Clays" and "International Clays"


                                                      "Universal Clays" and "Clays" are both suitable for the 45 ACP.

                                                          It can be a good powder for 45ACP. Just be careful you don't get them confused.

                                                          There's Clays, International Clays, Universal Clays.
