Mr. Loader, (very catchy name)
I don't 'load' practice rounds, all are the same, 5.6 grains of 231/HP-38, over a CCI LP primer, packed in any .45 ACP case (I have some that the Nichol plating has worn off) and all topped with a 200 grain LSW with just a little of the forward drive band exposed, less than a dimes thickness.
This load has served me for many years and runs a tad over 900 FPS.
I have loaded 225/230 LRN and used the same charge of 231. They were a bit slower.
