I am a long time reloader but have never loaded .45 and decided no time is better than the present. So I geared up to load .45 ACP - I bought some Lee carbide dies, Bullseye powder, Primers, 200 gr swc bullets and cleaned and polished about 1,000 cases I picked up at the range.
I installed the Lee dies per instructions on my RCBS Piggyback II loader, looked up a good starting load (200 gr swc over 4.1 gr bullseye) and went at it. My loads group well for me at 21 feet but they are grouping about an inch low and to the right. I wasn't sure if it was me or the load, so I switched to my trusty .38 Super and everything seemed fine. Anyways, Is it me or is it possible that there is something wrong with my load?
BTW, I am shooting a 5" 1911 with fixed Novak sites and have never had a problem with factory or range ammo not hitting POA.
