I am looking for reload data for reloading .45 ACP with Montana Gold 230 gr FMJ-RN bullets for practice rounds.
I have a good supply of Hodgdon Tite Group powder I want to use. Experienced loading recommendations with this powder apprecitated.
My previous experience (years ago) has been with Bullseye, which is harder to find than an honest politician

CMAX,
I found this link to Alliant Red Dot Powder loads for the 45 ACP: http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/powderlist.aspx?type=1&powderid=4&cartridge=35
It lists loads for 3 different bullets using Red Dot powder. Usually all the manufacturers have loading data on their website. I did note recently on a can of Hodgdon Tite Group that the load data printed on the can was for MAX loads and in small print that starting loads should be 10% less. So read the labels!
Here is the link to the Hodgdon reloading website: http://www.hodgdon.com/basic-manual-inquiry.html
I would also suggest that the check the bullet manufacturer for load specs for their bullets.
If you havent already done so, I suggest you order Lymans 49th edition of their reloading manual, as it has been the "bible" of reloaders for years and also include a lot of the basics that need to be considered for reloading.
