    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.
