.45 200gr Rn Copper

[ruready]

I can't seem to find any load data for these bullet. I just started reloading and a friend of mine gave me a box of 200gr round nose copper in .45 made by West Coast Bullet. Are these bullets that obsolete? All I can find data for are either 200gr SWC or 230 FMJ's.

No, they're current.

I have a box on my bench right now.

I use them with about 4.5g of 231 as a Steel challenge load.

I'm using 4.9gr titegroup at 1.240 for my practice load with those bullets.

Thanks. I just tried this load. After weighing in, the powder only fills about 1/4 of the case. Is that correct? Just wanna make sure.

Anybody got a link to West Coast Bullets or a dealer?

I'm not at home right now so I don't have the specific numbers. But I think you will find the max load for 200gr bullet with titegroup is 5.2 somewhere in there with a much shorter OAL.

Here is the Hogdon page:

I think West Coast bullets is no longer in business. They are now called X-treme bullets

Mark,

I just tried shooting your load data out of a Kimber 5" and it was sweet and accurate. Thanks for sharing

Bbunin,

As soon as I can get a hold of a 231, I'll try it. Thanks
