Funny you should mention that. I was using 200gr plated RN from West coast over several different powders but I could never get consistent accuracy or speed. Now that I've read some stuff I see that their are a zillion variables having nothing to do with the bullets or powder :-)

Thanks, any idea why many are suggesting I go with a lighter bullet? Seems to be lots of advice (from the guys at the range who shoot LIM 10 45) saying 185 or 200 JHP.

Hi All, Wondering if some of the more experienced ipsc shooters can point me toward a good 45acp load for my 5" 1911 Lim 10 gun. I've been using some old plated 200 gr round nose with some old 231 and AA#5 powder i had laying around. I'm looking to change to jacketed bullets likely Zero or Montana gold and I'm open to others experience on whether to use 185 or 200 jhp or jfp ... Also a number of people are suggesting International Clays or Titegroup though VV has also been mentioned. In a nutshell I just need a good load to start with till I understand what the tradeoffs are and can ask more intelligent questions about what my personal likes end up being. Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to email directly @ riorizzo@optonline.net. Thanks!
