Yeah, I know, everyone either yawned or got slightly irritated seeing this title, LOL. I'm loading my first 45 acp rounds. I've been loading for about 5 years, several thousand 9mm, 38 special, recently .380 and quite a few 223. Looking for loads using Bullseye, 200gr LSWC Bayou Bullets, 225gr Bayou truncated cone, seeing what works. Seems to me that Bullseye loads for both the 200 and 225-230gr are pretty similar. I would expect the heavier bullets to be less, doesn't always seem to be the case. Actual loads are all over the place. There are definite patterns, but I'm a bit confused. FWIW, the first loads I've put together are using Bullseye and the 200gr LSWC, 4.1, 4.6, 5.1gr, 1.250" OAL. Haven't gotten all the parts to build the gun yet, so not in a big hurry. I also have a bunch of Power Pistol I'm going to work up some loads with, there is less load data for that powder in 45acp, most of it for jacketed bullets. Seems it is mostly liked for higher powered loads.
