GregInAtl Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I just bought some AA#2 that I was going to use for 45acp 200 gr SWC, plated loads. I've used it before for 9mm but not for 45acp. Have any of you used it for 45acp? I love the way it meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumblestrip Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm loading for the first time and working up a load with AA#2 CCI primers 230 grain BBI AND 4.6 grains averaged 785 over 7 rounds u was within 10 fps on either side of that, going to load up 4.4 and see where I land with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregInAtl Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 I ended up settling on 4.7 gr AA#2 with 200gr LSWC's. This works well for my Colt 1911 but it has a 12# recoil spring. I usually find that light loads that work in my Colt 1911 are too light to cycle my Sig 320 and they won't cycle well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USSR Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Greg, I've used 5.0gr of AA#2 behind a 230gr lead bullet (nice load), so 5.0gr with a 200gr lead bullet is easily doable. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don I'm at 4.2 grains of AA#2 behind a 230gr BBI right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregInAtl Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 I really like AA#2 but it seems like it's easier to waste powder because it's so fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
