    45 Cal 250Gr. Reload Data

    I got a box of Hornady 45 cal .452", 250 gr. HP/XTP bullet, and I can't find reload data anywhere. Any helps for finding reload data of any types of powder for these bullets is greatly appreciated.

      Info from Midway's LoadMap Series 45ACP:
      Hornady 250gr HP/XTP
      Remington case
      RP 2 1/2 primer
      tested at the maximum overall length for 45ACP at 1.275"
      Using Win 231 powder
      Start 4.5--588fps--13300psi
      4.7--619--14300
      4.9-649--15300
      5.1-680--16300
      5.3--710--17400
      5.5--741--18400
      5.7--772--19400psi
      If you shorten overall length then reduce powder charges. This info is for comparison only. Work up carefully if using different components. Like mentioned, a very heavy bullet and a fast powder. Be careful. Use at your own risk.

          Thank you Chief-7700 for the information. I will try this out with extra cautions.
