I have been loading Copper Plated bullets for many years. With the recent shortage of pistol powder in my area, I have just purchased a few pounds of Hodgdon Longshot Powder in desperation for loading 45 ACP rounds. Yes, I know it's primarily a shotgun powder, but I cannot find any more suitable powders available in my area.
I am loading Berry's 230 grain RN plated bullets.
I cannot find good info anywhere about this powder and it's effectiveness with 230 grain RN bullets.
The only info I can find is from the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center
Starting load is 6.0 gr
Max load is 6.8 gr
Anyone have any opinions on this powder for 230 gr RN bullets specifically? How does it perform? Is it dirty? Recoil? etc
I will be shooting it out of a Glock 21 with aftermarket barrel.
Thanks!
