.453 in diameter - Average weight = 272 grains
I ran into a box of them and was thinking about using them in a 45LC pistol. They're a tad heavy but I'm looking for load data for them. I'd probably resize them down to .452 first. Thanks to all in advance

| I should have added more info, sorry. Powders? I've got all sorts, fast to slow, popular to really off the cuff. I guess my conundrum was even finding whose bullet or mold it is. Yes, it could be a custom job and I'm hoping to did up some plinking data for it. Right now, I'm sitting in front of a jug of Universal and TiteGroup. |

No need to resize 'em as long as you're not running a max charge. Just load and shoot.
I've shot 255gr in my Uberti's that dropped out of the mold at .455 without problems. I wanted to see if they were any more accurate than a .452 sized bullet. No difference. I've also used 300gr at .454 with no problems. Use the 300gr data. Start low and work up, as always. |
