Did I hear Rick say it is more difficult making major power factor with 200gr versus 185gr and 230gr 45acp? Am I doing something wrong, I haven't had issues making major power factor with 200 gr bullets.

Butterpuc - Loads that make major with Clays powder are a few tenths below max for both 185gr and 230gr bullets, but I need a max load to comfortably make major with 200s. With some bullets and some barrels, it's not possible to make major with Clays and 200gr bullets, without exceeding the max recommended load.

Rick, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I do not use Clays, because I can't find it currently, been using WST this year. I didn't realize that regarding Clays.
