I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but some 45acp brass uses small primers so be sure to check for that. I have Blazer and Federal brass with small primer pockets, but their may be others as well.
If you get the chance, try Vihtavouri. I mostly use W231, but it can be a bit dirty when loaded light. The N320 I've used burns very clean even at lighter loads but doesn't meter as well as W231.
I've loaded the Hdy 230gr FMJ's, XTP's, and HAP's as well as the 185gr XTP's and HAP's. All run well in my gun, but my most accurate load has been using a 185gr swc. I recently got some 200gr swc's but haven't loaded any yet.

I found 3 unopened boxes of Hdy 200gr FMJ bullets, and 1 unopened box of Hdy 200gr XTP bullets.
