Wondering overall, Is Lee's load data pretty consistently conservative?
I've only used it for 45 acp., but in loading a 200 gr copper plated, and a 230 gr copper jacketed bullets, It has taken near never exceed loads to reliably cycle my 1911. By comparison they are still light loads when put next to factory loads.
Is this pretty typical of Lee's load data or is it just the bullet and powder I'm using? I've found a liking in 200 gr rainier copper plated with 5.3 gr of win 231, and a medium factory crimp. They are pretty light but I'm very happy with the accuracy.
