I would welcome some recommendations on a load for a 45 Long Colt. I want to get 900 fps using a 250 Hornady XTP. I have W231 but have found no data that reaches 900 fps. I also have W296 which in the 4th edition of the Hornady Reloading Manual lists 16.1 grains of W296 at 900 fps and is a max...

I thought I would pass along the following load data in case anyone is interested. I loaded 6.5 grains of Win 231 behind a 200 grain Hornady XTP and shot this load from a Sig P220. This is a very accurate load with mild recoil. I also shot this same load with Berrys 200 grain plated HP with the...

I am seeking information on load data for the 200 grain XTP using WW231. I have not seen the data but have been told the 11th edition of Hornady's manual lists 6.8 grains as the maximum. I would appreciate any info on this or any other reliable source load data using WW231 above 6.0 grains.

While shooting the other day I had fired around 150 rounds of TZZ 230 ball. Occassionally I would feel the slide sort of pause and then move forward in sort of a sling shot motion, this continued on and off for the next 50 rounds. Prior to shooting the pistol a 1911A1 Springfield was clean and...

I'm looking for your input on a mild/tolerable recoil .38 Special Load. Hornady's 2012 product catalog states the impact performance of their 125 and 140 grain XTP ranges from 800 -1600 fps, 158 grain from 800 -1400 fps. I would appreciate any load suggestions that fall within the 800 -900...

Does anyone have the load data from this article? "The Middle Ground, .45 ACP 200-Grain Performance Loads" by Brian Pearce. FEB 2010 issue of Handloader Ammunition Reloading Journal, or just Handloader Magazine.

I posted a few weeks ago concerning high pressure signs in my 264 using 61 grains of H4831 with a 140 grain Nosler Partition. I received very good advice and recommendations on how to correct the high pressure. I went back to square one and started all over on working up a load. I stared by...
