Looks like a one time cypher pad

I’m 69 and still racing SCCA amateur road racing. Fortunately my H Production Honda Civic is fairly bullet proof. If it starts when it is time to go racing, I load it in the trailer

I use some Accurate #5 in 45 ACP 230 RN loads but I have not checked the current load data recently.

I use True Blue in 9x19 have have seen several data changes from Western Powders over the last 15 years or so. So, Accurate #5 could easily have the same issues with data changing over time due to changing manufacturers.

Kudos to you! I went to a lot of SCCA races back in the early 70s. My skills were appropriate for being a great spectator.

I gave one of my sons all my “car tools” (Jack, Jack stands, flaring tool, flare nut wrenches, etc) a few years ago when I sold my last jalopy. He lives several hours away. So, it’s not just age but no tools is a really major reason I didn’t do the Caddy’s brake lines my self.

I got into reloading shortly after I quit working on cars. Accurate #5 was the second powder I ever used. My notes say I last used 45ACP, 230gr RN @ 1.235”, 7.1gr Accurate #5.

800 fps with 230 gr fmj. about max.

Accurate Data & powder manufactures have changed over the years.

Hodgdon data is the latest to compare to older.

230 gr 7.8 looks ok at Hodgdon, except Hornady bullets. 7.7 gr max, No 5.
