I have lots of 250gr rnfp bullets I use in my 45 LC and was wondering if I can use these bullets in my 1911? I loaded up a dummy round and it feeds fine. Will this run with stock springs? Anyone have load data to share? I have lots of bullseye powder as well.
Thanks
3.4 didn't eject at all. 3.5 stove piped. 3.6 cycled ~650 fps. 3.7 ~680 and the brass trickled just barely past my hands. Will load up 3.8 and 3.9 and see how that goes.
Cheers
I loaded 10 each with 1f federal brass, federal small pistol primers, 180gr berry's plated bullets, 3.4gr, 3.5gr, 3.6gr and 3.7gr of N320. Loaded to 1.130" COL. They work fine in the glock mags that way.
Going to chrono tomorrow. Will post results.
I used to shoot g17 in production but the wife wants to play so she is getting that one and I got a good deal on a g22 rtf2. I have a bunch of berry's plated 180gr bullets I got cheap at a gun show and a couple thousand 40 s&w cases. I am looking for a load that will make ~130pf since I don't need more for production. I have read about the concerns for the unsupported chamber and reloading and this is another reason I want to stick with ~130pf. Several people have said that fast powders are bad in stock barrels.
Berry's says to load to 1.125 COL.
What powder do you recommend I use to make ~130 PF and run at low pressure for the unsupported chamber?
IMR SR4756? Longshot? They are both really slow but I'm not sure that works with minor loads.
Thank you for your advice.
