Hello, Folks. I have a Lee turret turret press and I already reload 45-70, .45 colt, 44WCF, and .30 carbine. I've ordered the .45 acp Lee die set along with a turret disc and 250 .45 230 grain fmj bullets from Midway. Today I picked up Bullseye powder from my LGS. My question is: I'm getting a compact sized 1911 tonight or tomorrow (depends on UPS) and I was wondering if the 5.0 grain starting load (Lee manual) is good for the shorter, 3 1/2" barrel?
I've been shooting a 5" 1911 but only with factory ammo. This my first time reloading this cartridge. Thanks in advance for any tips.
