I loaded up some .45's using 5.5 Bullseye, 230 gr Hornady FMJ-RN #45177.
Is this too hot? I was trying to get some loads going for my Para Carry (Colt Defender 3" barrel sized) gun.
The data from my Lyman's book says for a 230 gr jacketed MC, 3.8-5.3 of Bullseye is ok. Will an extra .2 gr hurt?
I loaded some Hornady 185 gr HP/XTP's. Some at 5.0 gr and some at 5.5 gr. According to the Lyman book, I can go 3.5-6.0 Bullseye.
And of course, the reason I "overloaded" the 230's was, I forgot to reduce the powder charge a bit after loading the 185's at one in the morning. Yup, never do that again.
Any comments are appreciated. Or should I invest in a bullet puller?
