John Z Sr Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 230 in the 625 revo, round nose loads the fastest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 .45ACP in a 1911 is all I've been shooting for the past year or so. I use 200grain lead semi wad cutters from Missouri Bullets. I like the great big holes they punch out I'm pushing them out with 4.3 grains of Hogdon Clay's through a 5" barrel. They work great and usually chrono between 172 and 175 PF. Hope this helps.

Boats Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I like 200's in a 5 inch 1911 were they make PF easy. 4 inch 625 revolver I had to load too hot to get PF with 200's. So use 230's for the wheelgun, the 230's drop in better with Moonclips soo. Felt recoil is a lot more with the revolver shooting 230's than the 1911 Colt using 200 gr SWC's Boats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 200gr BayouBullet 4.2gr Clays, has the soft sweet pulse of a limited gun, and 200's are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro2AInPA Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 I think I'll be trying some 200gr bullets with Clays in my 1911. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro2AInPA Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hmm I just saw that you guys are using the max charge of Clays to make major. Maybe I'll try W231. Seems to make major at the lower end of the charge range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hmm I just saw that you guys are using the max charge of Clays to make major. Maybe I'll try W231. Seems to make major at the lower end of the charge range. 4.2gr was far enough from Major in my 1911 that I dont know that I could get it without going above max published with chrono cushion. Now, 3.8-3.9gr Clays with a 230gr is pretty sweet as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
