    Help with 45acp ande 44 mage loads

    I am working on a load for my 45acp using the Laser Cast 230gr LRN and my 44mag using the Silver State Bullet, 240Gr LSWC.
    Using Unique for both, cannot find any site for their bullets to confirm a load. Anybody have a good target load for these?
    Thanks

    You do not need specific data for the manufacturer of the bullet. If it is lead then any lead load data for the same powder and bullet weight will be acceptable. Work up your load for safety sake and watch for pressure signs.

      Alliant website shows the following recipes for Unique

      .45 ACP 230gr LRN

      44mag 240gr LSWC

      Start a half grain lower than specified and work it back up. Lead bullet data for the same weight bullet is good enuff, you don't need data for the exact same brand bullet, just back it off a hair and start there.

        That was easy! Good job, Guys.
        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.
