I've just recently started reloading, and I have a question.
I'm loading for 45acp, using 230 grain plated bullets, and bullseye powder.
I'm using an RCBS "lil Dandy powder rotor" with a number 10 rotor. according to the manufacturer it should be 5.5 grains of bullseye, when i weight the charges they are right around 5.2 to 5.3.
When I went to shoot my first 100 rounds yesterday, they seemed to have a lot of recoil, more than I was expecting. I don't have a chronograph, but they seem to be more powerful than I was expecting. I dont see any signs of high pressure on the cases or primers.
Do you think its just in my head? or is 5.3 grains of bullseye too much? my manuel says it is somewhere in the middle between the min and the max load for jacked 230 grain bullets, it doesnt have any loads for plated. should i just switch to jacked bullets?
