As I posted back in June, our middle grandson got himself a Kimber 1911, 45ACP. He was out to the house yesterday for a visit, and he told us that unfortunately he hasn’t shot his new gun very much at all; he only has one box of ammo, and he knows that around here store bought 45ACP ammo is pretty much irreplaceable for the time being.
Anyway, after our grandson left, I got to looking around and I found 3 unopened boxes of Hdy 200gr FMJ bullets, and 1 unopened box of Hdy 200gr XTP bullets. I also have plenty of Winchester LP primers and once-fired 45ACP brass. I have a few pounds of Unique powder too, along with about 1lb each of Universal, Titegroup and CFE Pistol.
So could someone suggest some good loads using the above mentioned components? I’ve never loaded 45ACP (always meant to, even have the dies) but now looks like a good time to start.
BTW, I won’t be loading for our grandson - I’ll be teaching him how to do it using my equipment and components. He’s 21, and a good kid. He just doesn’t have much ammo for his new gun.
Thanks in advance.
