I have both the Lee Modern Reloading book and the Lyman Reloading Handbook #49. I'm taking the path of hot powders with heavy bullets. These two powders appear as numbers 7 & 8 in the burn rate charts and are popular with many .45 ACP IDPA and USPSA shooters. As near as I can calculate, a 230gr Precision Delta FMJ bullet over 3.9gr of Clays or 4.0gr of 700X will get me over the 165 power factor.
Have you tried both? Which one do you use?
I have a brand new Sig 1911 Stainless with a 5" barrel. I haven't even shot it yet. I'm looking forward to chunking some WWB downrange Friday though.
