Recently got in some 230gr plated hollow points from Ranier. The powders I have in stock are Unique and Red Dot. I used 230gr lead data from my Lee manual which states the following.
StartingPowder MaxPowder Min OAL PowderType
4.5 gr 5.1gr 1.27 Red Dot
5.1 gr 5.8gr 1.27 Unique
I loaded up 5 rounds of Red Dot at 4.8 grains and they all worked fine, however, the min OAL of 1.27 is a little long for my taste. I don't have a chrono as of yet, so was wondering if anyone had a recipe they use for this combination of bullet/powders?
Also, if you don't have a recipe for this combo please don't reply.
