First wanted to say thanks for the wealth of knowledge that is available on this site...as I become more involved with reloading, I'm sure I'll spend more time here...
My father in law is coming to visit and to help me get a reloading set up going. I know I've got the necessary equipment, but I'm still short on a few load recipes. I did a search for the specific bullets I'm looking for and didn't get too much conclusive stuff back. Here's what I'd like to reload:
Rainier Leadsafe 230 gr PRN (I've heard 6 of Unique, or 4.5-4.9 of W231)
Rainier Leadsafe 200 gr PRN (Rainier suggests using lead load data, or 10% less than an equivalent jacketed data)
Remington 230 gr FMJ (I've heard 5.9 of Unique)
Hornady Action Pistol 230 gr-it's a hollowpoint, but not the XTP
I have some Bullseye powder and Federal No. 150 primers. I'll be picking up some more primers and definitely W231 and maybe Unique powders tomorrow. I have a .45 ACP reloading manual, but I'm thinking of getting the 49th Lyman manual too
If anyone has load data or suggestions for these bullets, I would be all ears. Thanks in advance for the tips...
