What bullets, primers and powder for 45 SS?  And what powder charge?  Want to make major but not much more.  1911 5".  I do not intend to use uncounted lead. Otherwise I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

Uncoated lead, perhaps ???

 

Try 200gr "coated" LSWC with around 4.2 grs of Clays.  You may need to experiment with the load as I use Australian Clays and the only Clays now available is Canadian (unless you have some or find an individual who wants to part with some).

What is .45 SS?

Coated lead: Precision Bullets

Jacketed: Precision Delta

Plated: If you must, look for 0.452" bullets. RMR is good place to start

Powder: N310, Solo 1000, N320, 231/HP38, AA2. Anything faster than AA5 works well.

Major PF: Use your manual and calculate PF.  Hard not to shoot major with the .45. You can load down to reach whatever PF you want with the fast powder you'll be using.

 

You can even look at a 250gn JHP and ~4.5gn of AA2...
