45acp recipe for Berrys 200FP

[Mcinterest]

I have 1000 rnds of Berry's 200gn FP and Bullseye powder. I have not been able to find a recommended OAL or grains of powder. Anyone have any experience you would care to share?

I know I could start low and work my way up but hope to benefit from the boards experience.

Lots of 200gr bullet data. Use lead to mid level jacketed data. set OAL so that case mouth is just under the bullet shoulder and check to see it chambers the same as a factory round when dropped in the barrel removed from your pistol to be used as a check gage.

FAQ: How do I load Berry's Preferred Plated Bullets?
Plated bullets occupy a position between cast bullets and jacketed bullets. They are soft lead, but have a hard outer shell on them. When loading plated bullets we have found best results using low- to mid-range jacketed data in the load manual. You must use data for a bullet that has the same weight and profile as the one you are loading. Do not exceed mid-range loads. Do not use magnum loads.

Thanks Steve. I thought as much, but could not find a specific measurement in any of my books.
