dde152194 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I just recieved a lee 190 gr. LSWC hollow point mold. Does anyone have any load data for this bullet type? I have not been able to find anything on the web for it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I did not find that mold on Lee's website. If it looks like a 200gr SWC, just use data for that bullet. It will be close. Just remember that .45ACP is a low pressure round, and don't try to hotrod it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hany Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Were you looking for a load fast enough to make it expand? Or to make major? etc If you are looking for a reasonable, but stout load, 7.5 of Universal is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wide45 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 7.5 is over a grain more than Hodgdon reccomends as max for similar bullets. I would NOT use that load without seeing data indicating it was not over max. 180 GR. LFP Hodgdon Universal .452" 1.140" 5.3 755 11,100 CUP 6.4 1019 17,600 CUP 200 GR. CAST LSWC Hodgdon Universal .451" 1.225" 5.8 889 13,900 CUP 6.3 962 16,800 CUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hany Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Hmmm.. well the 4 pound container of Universal that Im looking at now shows a max of 7.2g printed on the label. Alliants Unique which is obviously similar (but not identical) lists a max charge of 8.2g with a Gold dot. Is it over max? I guess so. I have had good accuracy, and velocity over 1000fps. Given that .45 acp max pressure for a +p load is about 6,000 psi higher than what Hodgden shows as max, I think that the 7.5g load is not outside the bounds of good judgement. Having said that, to each his own, and work up to any load especially those that are near max. Edited November 19, 2008 by Hany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy_fuentes Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) 5.2 to 5.4 grains of WW 231 with a 200 grain LSWC is a great load for major, but can be cut down as far as 4.5 grains for a soft practice load.
