Hello All,
I've been haunting this site for several days reading the wealth of info and advice. I'm a long time handgun owner and recently started reloading as another retirement hobby.
I've lots of Q's but my most immediate: I came across a great deal on 1000 of Hornadys #45157 bullets. These are .451 200gr FMJ C/T. Also received 5Lb. of Accurate No. 5 powder which seems to be a good choice for .45ACP loads.
Try as I might, I cannot find any info for this load combination. Since I'm new to reloading,I don't think I should try an extrapolate data and experiment without a little experience under my belt! I hesitate to use data from reloading manuals on 200 grain bullets since these are JHP and not the TMJ flat nose target bullets.
Could someone provide me with required load data? Or a least point me in the right direction? I've tried the Manufacturer's sites and nearly all the reloading sites.
Thanks in advance.
