Mikethor Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Having trouble obtaining more Berrys .45 230 rn at .452 however can obtain Zero bullets .45 230rn at..451. Other than reducing the belling will these be a straight forward replacement ? I use 4.7 WST and make major in both the sig and Dan wesson 1911 with this load. Any help would be appreciated as I reload because I need to not because it excites me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njl Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Unless shot from a really short barrel, that should have no problem making PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdinga Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 your COAL will likely be shorter with the Zero bullets due to their profile. I load them at 1.250 and you might want to try 4.6 of WST. PF will not be a problem. The Zero bullets will most likely be much more accurate. I use a lot them because they are local and good people.

Matt in TN Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I use Berry's, Rainier, and Zero 230gr RN in my G30 interchangeably with everything else the same (powder charge, die settings, etc.) and they all work fine. Zero has been the most accurate for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikethor Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks all for the valuable input. I will purchase the zero bullets next week and look forward to seeing how they perform. I only have 1000 berrys left so needed an exit strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well tried some zero s and they only just chambered and were difficult to extract. I checked my COAL on my Berrys and they are long at 1.273 however have always functioned without any issues. I m figuring with the difference in profile and .451 diameter of the zero s that I need to reduce that COAL to 1.250 -1.255. Power Factor will def not be an issue with that reduction.
