I am looking at the two newest loading manuals from Lyman and Hornady for 45acp, and they show very different data:
Hornady 45acp 230 gr LRN Bullseye 4.6 gr - 5.7 gr MAX
Lyman 45acp 225 gr #2 alloy LRN Bullseye 4.0 gr - 5.0 gr MAX
I have previously heard that the 225 gr listed in Lyman IS a 230 gr once you factor in the lube.
So which is it? People recommend 5 gr bullseye to replicate factory hardball load, which is a mid range in Hornady's book and a max load for Lyman.
