Hi all,
Lately I've been loading .45 Auto with Unique. I found that loading at 6.1gr 1.265" C.O.L. and 230gr FMJRN produces the best results in my HK45. 6.3gr works pretty darn well also.
However, Unique meters terribly, and I want to switch powders once I'm out of it. I've found that I'm throwing anywhere from 5.7 to 6.3gr with very little consistency out of my Hornady LNL powder measure. As a result, unless I want to weigh each individual charge, my loads have a great deal of variation and accuracy suffers. Don't get me wrong, it's great when I can actually weigh each charge, but I'd rather just switch powders and save time.
I've heard good things about W231 and Hodgdon Titegroup. Are there any other powders of the consistency of BL-C2 or H-335 (these powders measure like a dream for me) that work well for producing what is essentially GI Ball loads of .45?
