Question on 45acp FMJ vs Plated

[lethalb18c1]

Hey I just loaded 10 rounds of 45acp but when I finished I realized I was using the recipe for FMJ. Am I okay with what I did?
Winchester brass
5.3 grains of w231
COL 1.260
Xtreme 230grain .452 plated RN

Lyman reloading book says 5.2 grains min and 5.8 grains max but when I did some research I've seen people go as low as 4.4 grains and as high as 6.4 grains using the same powder.

You're fine.

I did the same thing the first time I ever reloaded. I didn't even know there was a difference.

I would think since your book says its good, you'll be good. But if you dont feel comfortable you can always pull them. Its only 10 rounds

They will probably feel pretty stout but then again I am a woos when it comes to my reloads.

Yep, that's the exact same recipe I use...you're good to go.

I would not go any higher with the powder!

[lethalb18c1]

Awesome, just trying to be as safe as I can

another for your fine

because 45acp is a low pressure round theres nothing to worry about, if it were 357mag it could be a different story

[sjg1966]

You are good to go!

I use FMJ and plated RN with 5.0 - 5.2gr of Bullseye, no issues so far. I figure at 7 yds and out of a 5" barrel, I'd have to be having a pretty good day at the range to be able to tell the difference between FMJ and plated. My 1911 doesn't seem to mind either.
