I loaded some 45ACP and the velocities seem unusually high, looking for any feedback or if anyone else has noticed the same phenomenon.
The rounds were made using Hornady load data. Shot out of a TRP 1911
Missouri Bullet Co 230g LRN, Titegroup 4.5g, CCI LP primers
OAL 1.245, Lee factory crimp die.
My velocities 2 tests, 10 rounds each
Winchester brass 873 fps ave
R-P brass 872 fps ave
Hornady lists 800 fps with 4.6 g titegroup, and 850 fps with 5.0 g. both lower than my velocities. I confirmed my powder charge and OAL, I am wondering if the LEE FCD could cause this difference ?? Thanks for feedback
