Paul22 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I’m starting to load .45 acp. Have 200 grain acme coated bullets and a win 231 powder. Cci primers. Any recommendations. I’m only looking for a light accurate target load out of a Glock 21. Don’t need to make major pf. Thanks for any info! This is my 1st time seeking help on this forum.

bowenbuilt Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 You didn't say which ACME bullet you have so i will assume the SWC type. I usually run those at between 5.0 and 5.5 grains of WW231 for a light pleasant to shoot load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyd Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 5 to 5.5 will work good with a 200 grain bullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyd Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Go to the Hodgdon site and look up 231 or HP38 same powder. Great powders and they meter well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
