This morning, I got a GREAT deal on 200gr. and 230gr. Ranier .45ACP bullets (to the tune of 1200 of each for $250 total). Since I've currently got about 14 pounds of Unique sitting on my powder shelf, I'm looking to work up loads using both for my 1911 and my S&W 25 revolver for general target shooting. I've been researching various resources online for most of the day and coming up with load data that varies WIDELY in charge weight and OAL for the 230gr bullets, and very little data at all for the 200gr RN bullets in either lead or jacketed loads.
Yes, I know that Unique isn't the best choice for .45ACP, but I've had good luck in the past using 6.1gr of Unique with FMJ bullets in .45ACP, and like I said, I've got a stockpile to use up.
So, can anybody suggest loads using Unique powder for Ranier 200gr. RN and 230gr. RN plated bullets?
