      Too many to list.
      Here is one :
      223-Com or mil brass-27.5grs Win748 with a mag primer and a Hornady 55gr SX or SP bullet---Killed thousands of squirrels and PD's with it.
      And another for the Garands--147gr FMJ or 150gr SP and 47grs of IMR4895 with reg or mag primer in Mil or com brass
      A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

            THIS IS WHAT I USE AND IT WORKS FOR ME. IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE IT, USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

            45 ACP crimp same for all loads .470
            185gr LSWC Dardas
            CCI large pistol primers
            7.2gr of Longshot
            COL 1.250
            This for my USC 45 and it is pretty freaking accurate, even in my Sig 1911.

            200gr Extreme plated SWC
            CCI large pistol primers
            3.5gr Trial Boss
            COL 1.230
            This is for my Sig 1911 for competition. Very little recoil. I used a 12 lbs recoil spring. This powder stinks though.

            185gr LSWC Dardas
            CCI large pistol primers
            6gr IMR PB
            COL 1.250
            Still testing but good so far. Will try with 200gr Extreme plated SWC pills soon. When using PB pay attention to the powder. It meters well but it is of a flat/dull black color and doesn't shine very well with my light.

            223
            55gr Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmit
            CCI small rifle primers
            22.8gr Varget
            COL 2.260

            Next week I will start the same load as above with Hornady 55gr FMJBT at a COL 2.250 same load of powder. Will be using CCI #41 primers.

                45.0 grains of Win 296 (h110)
                45 cal 240 grain hornady xtp mag jacketed hollow point
                Large rifle magnum primer
                Starline 460 S&W mag case
                19xx fps actual chrono readings with 8 3/8" barrel.

                10.0 trail boss
                270 grain 45 cal cast hollow point boolit
                large rifle primer
                starline 460 case
                1,000 fps chrono speed
                Good enough to hit a 12" steel plate at 100 yards and light recoil.

                40 S&W
                4.6 win 231/hp38
                155 lead semi wad cutter
                wolf/tula small pistol primers
                1,000 fps
                I managed to hit the 100 yard plate with the sights dead on the target, but used a sand bag to rest the gun. This load is soft to shoot but is very fast for 3 gun competitions.

                30-30 180 grain cast boolit
                mixed brass
                large rifle primer (any brand)
                9.6 grains of herco shotgun powder
                1300 fps
                low recoil and can hit a 14" plate offhand at 165 yards with factory win 94 iron sights. Cost: $9 per 100 rounds.

                9mm 115 rn moly coated lead bullet
                5.6 (would have to double check load book) grains of hp-38 (DO NOT USE THIS. WAY BEYOND MAX LOAD)
                winchester small pistol mag primers
                I forgot the chrono numbers but it should be 1200-1300 fps. This is used in a springfeild single stack 9mm 1911 with a compensator and red dot. It was build for a load that is very hot. This works the comp pretty well, but the powder is too fast. This is my dad's competition/plinking gun. He used to shoot a 45 1911 with iron sights but his sights always came loose so he just upgraded to a whole used gun. The old one is an AMT Skipper.
                He who dies with the most tools/toys wins

                  Win SPP
                  1060-1120 fps, good for minor in USPSA

                      Hopefully a new reloader will know that some firearms can handle hotter loads.

                      .460 300 gn V-max with 42gn H110
                      .500 500 gn V-max with 42gn H110
                      With all this "gun control" talk, I've not heard one politician say how they plan on taking guns from criminals, just law abiding Citizens.
