Need help with load data

[deadeye dick]

got a deal on some cast 185 gr BRN 18 LSWC. No problem finding data for .45 ACP but nothing for .45 LC. I would like to try them in the Cattlemen. Tried the usual sites (Lyman. Hodgdon , Speer, Nosler, ect. Thanks for looking

If you have unique on had. 8 grains would be safe.

The Ideal No.40, Lymans No.44 and No, 45 all lists loads for bullets in the 175-225gr range, including a 180gr FP-HB in the 40th. I would suggest sticking to using very fast powders like Bullseye or Red Dot. The general rule of thumb is to use data from a heavier bullet but it looks like the 175gr and 235gr loads are pretty close. Those volumes are available on the internet for download in PDF format.

This will get you close. Loads for 180 and 200 RNFP bullets. 180 is close.
