EurAzn12 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Anyone have any pointers on reloading 200gr wad cutter that'll make as close to possible 825fps in .45acp? I'm not too sure where to start with reloading these. I want to use em for IDPA with my 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severian Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Anyone have any pointers on reloading 200gr wad cutter that'll make as close to possible 825fps in .45acp? I'm not too sure where to start with reloading these. I want to use em for IDPA with my 1911. I use 4.9g of TiteGroup over LSWC 200gr. I get 830-40 fps. Using a plated SWC bullet may mean you have to increase the powder a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartens Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Bulletworks 200 LSWC 4.3 Clays OAL 1.242 Any primer, any brass. This will get you 850-880, drop back a little if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
