We had a fun super bowl party at my house and one guest said he heard that I was into the shooting sports. Well, only about average, I replied, not knowing him very well. He said that he was a reloader and waxed on about how much power he gets out of his 45's and wanted to see my set up. I told him my stuff is secured during parties, especially ones that have beer and wine.
Now, I'm always interested in friendships, but not if this guy is blowing smoke. So I asked him what he loaded for his 45.
His recipe:
Winchester Brass "gotta be cause its the best"
Blue Dot powder 9.2 gr "itsa magnum powder"
230 gr Golden Sabre HP
WLP primers "they are hotter"
I wrote this down as he told me. After he left I went on the Alliant Powder website and found no data using BD in 45acp, nor in any of my books either.
What do you think about this load? Is it +P or even dangerous? I've only loaded for 8 yrs so I've not the experience of some of the members here. Is this an old load? I'd like to have more reloading friends but am wary of this guy. Your thoughts please..
