Hello Everyone,
I was able to get a couple of # of titegroup and winchester large pistol primers, so I am going to begin my first reload. I have the Hornady Lock and Load AP press set up already. Tumbled, Deprimed, Resized, and Primed 200 45 ACP brass yesterday to get everything going.
I will be shooting my Remington R1 1911 and Glock 36 (45ACP)
Hornady 185 Grain HP/XTP will be arriving today as part of the Press' Rebate.
Based on the Hornady's Reloading Manual, the load data is as follow
5.5g-6.1gr with 1.213 COL
Hodgdon's Website said starting load is 5.0 gr and max is 5.5 gr with 1.135 COL
I am looking for guidance and suggestions on my first load.
Which data should I use?
what should my COL be?
the brass have different head stamps. will that be a problem?
Thank you in advance
