Good Morning Gentleman,
I am fairly new to reloading, only about 2 years into it. I have been reloading 45acp only. I have been loading 230 grain Berry's plated with 4.6-4.8 grains of titegroup with oal at 1.260. These result in pretty decent rounds that are a little softer than the WWB or Federal factory rounds that I usually feed my 1911. I would like to run a 100 or so rounds that are closer to standard GI ball but here's the kicker...
My Lee powder measure on the turret press varies .2 grains with TG. When I switch to the next disk size up, my powder throws are between 5.0 and 5.2 grains. Hodgdon and Lee list the max load for titegroup at 4.8 with oal at 1.200.
The question is, would the increase in case capacity to 1.260 accommodate a charge of up to 5.2 grains without getting into +p territory?
Thanks
