I just purchased a Lee Loadmaster to start reloading my 45acp. I'm just punching holes in paper so I'm looking for any info/opinions on what powder to use. Any idea's on which powder meters better than another, burns the cleanest, most readily available,etc. Any opinions from the group good or bad is appreciated.
Thanks, Rob |

New Lee powder measures have lots of static from factory. Meaning they clog by powder bridging.
The very first thing I would do is wash all plastic components, including disks in hot, soapy dish water. Rinse with hot water and dry. Powders to stay away from if you're new to reloading for .45acp. Any powder that requires a charge weight below 5 grains. Hodgdons Titegroup and Hodgdons Clays are two that come to mind quickly. People don't take this seriously then come crying after they've ruined a barrel. IMR SR 4756 is a good powder to start with for .45acp and measures very well. |
