I was given a box of bullets and can't find any load data for it. I can only find data for JSWC. Does anybody have the COL, Min and Max data for 45 ACP using TiteGroup powder?

From the manufacturer of the powder: 180 GR. LFP Hodgdon Titegroup .452" 1.140" 4.2 771 10,200 CUP 5.2 946 16,600 CUP 180-185 grain is well within the weight tolerance for most cast bullets of this size. Most cast bullets will drop from the mold a little light. As Rockdoc said: Seat bullet to near the top of the upper band and taper crimp |

yeah, seriously. The 45 ACP is a very low pressure cartridge... on the order of black powder. With modern firearms and quality brass, you are NOT going to realistically have any issues with a 5% variance in bullet weight from listed "max" loads. There's no need to use "max" loads with cast bullets anyway - especially with stuff you found randomly. Don't overthink the problem! |
