My buddy John wants some "standard pressure heavy" .45 Colt reloads. Their is a little bit of that type data out there in PDFs, but not a lot, anyone here loading heavy for .45 Colt bullets to standard pressures?
He gave me a bunch (400) of brass, a handful of 310 Gr lead bullets, a lot of gas checked 320 Gr bullets, and some commercial cast 345 Gr lead bullets.
The closest data I have seen in PDFs/online data that looks promising is Silhouette & BE-86 with 300 Gr lead bullets.
Since I have a lot of the 320 gr bullets, it seems logical to start with them. I should be able to work something up with either of the two powders mentioned, but would love to hear what others are doing with that bullet weight (ish) in .45 Colt.
Thanks.
