45 ACP with Xtreme 200gr FP Powder? (clean shot)

Title of thread may be throwing people off your question...

I'm working with the same bullets and Promo powder and my current 4.4gr charge has me at 167PF for 8rds. I will nudge the charge up a hair and call it successful.

Sorry I can't be of much help with your powder choice.

ETA...

I bet you can start with a charge of around 4.5 and be perfectly safe but likely well below major PF. Will likely be at or above 5.2 before you make major PF depending on your barrel.

The manufacturer posts load data for that powder and .45ACP. Their data is for the heavier bullets, but those charges should be perfectly safe with lighter bullets.

OP

Can't help with powder. But possibly with OAL. In both of my 1911's, I had to set mu OAL for the Xtreme 200 gr SWC to 1.230.

My other 200 gr SWC I could set to 1.225, but the Xtreme's would not feed reliably, so I had to go little longer.

If you are shooting in other than a 1911, your results may be different.
