Working up a bolt action rifle project and trying to decide on a chambering but since I'm in uncharted territory anyway I thought I'd see what rifle powder could do at least in theory. RCBS appears to have "Load" software to simulate this stuff before doing it and I know a few of you use it. Hoping one will for me, just the once.
.45acp brass
trim length .888
15grn IMR 4831
185grn TMJ SWC
Winchester MSRP
Just want to find out if this is going to be on the 50K+ psi side or on the < 40K psi side.
What I don't need is a lecture. I know what I'm asking which is why I asked for it in software without mucking about with hardware. If I needed a lecture the thread would have started with "I just worked up 50 of these" which I and it did not.
The max load for this that's in the "book" is 17.5gns AA#7 with the same other components so I'm hoping the slightly smaller charge of rifle powder will work without pressures going to six digits and maybe give substantially better performance in a rifle application.
I know you don't want to work up 1000 loads so feel free to PM me results so people will not bug you constantly and use the thread to discuss the insanity of the request.
