I picked up a 5 lb jug of Trail Boss. Mostly to use in low power revolver loads which I'll use with my new to shooting son, daughter and their spouses.
The thought crossed my mind of loading some 45 ACP with Trail Boss. I have some 200 gr SWCs and some 200 gr. RNFP bullets. Hodgdon shows a load for 45 ACP and 200 gr. SWC starting at 3.5 gr and a max of 5.5 gr.
My question is does anyone have experience with Trail Boss and 200 gr bullets in 45 ACP? I'll be shooting these loads in a Springfield 1911 mil-spec. Wondering if the 1911 would cycle at the starting loads.
