So, after some trial and error I got using my box of 240 gr keith type LSWC in my .45 ACP reloads for my RIA 1911. It's a good load, not too stout and accurate. The problem is that that box is almost empty.
And I can't afford any more bullets because I spent all my toy money on that Carbine. I know 1st world problem
BUT I still have about a hundred or so 250 gr keith type LSWC that I was using in my .45 Colt loads.
10 grains heaver yet and .712" long as opposed to the .659" of the 240's. Seating it to the same depth in the case would give me a 1.253" COAL under the maximum of 1.275" for the .45 ACP.
So powder becomes the next question.
Lee has Unique and Bullseye data - for 260 grain _Jacketed_ bullets...
I don't want anything too hot, just to cycle the action and keep me shooting till I can afford some 230 LRN for plinking ammo.
Thoughts?
Heavy bullets and the .45 ACP?
