I've been trying to work up a load for my Dan Wesson .445. I'm loading 240 gr XTP's over 37.5 grains of AA1680 with Winchester mag primers with a OAL of 1.925. There's not too much load data out there for this cartridge, but it looks like I should have a velocity of @1608. I'm only getting @ 1150. The only thing I can think of is maybe a tighter crimp, but can't believe that will make a 450 fps difference. Anyone have experience with this cartridge or have a similar problem?
