So I'm super board with this lockdown here in Ca,
Looking to load some 45acp and all I have in the way of bullets are Hornady FTX 225 & 250gr .452
I dont see any problems but seating depth changing pressures the plastic tip catching ect...
Anybody try this and how'd it go?
Like I said I'm super board..........
So I did a lil Google search and found Hornady critical defence but the polymer tip is flat.
They say FTX but the pix of the loaded round is different.
Interesting

You have 45LC/450 Bushmaster bullet. The 225 and 250 grs bullets are for 45LC rifle loads and the 450 Bushmaster, not for 45acp. There’s no load data for 45 225/250 FTX in 45acp. You might be able to get them to feed, but they will seat too deep, leading to dangerous pressures.
