Hey friends and neighbors...happy Saturday!
I'm going to start reloading .45 ACP with new StarLine Brass (large primer), 200gr RN lead bullet, and Alliant Bullseye powder. Does anyone have a recipe for this combination?
Thanks!
Joel

Sorry, not me. Guess I'm old fashioned. I only shoot one load, 6 grains of Unique under a 230 bullet Jacketed or plated bullet.....and that's not original, being probably the most loaded load in history besides the loads using Bullseye or black powder.  Yeah, I know, Unique leaves a little soot. I could care less....it's as accurate as I can shoot, and it fills the case so I don't have to worry I'll load a double load. 40 years worth of fun in that load.....plus I'm from the camp who believes the heaviest bullet belongs in a concealed carry gun. |

Thanks gentlemen, My confusion is that the bullets I'll be loading are not semi wad cutter; they are round-nose bullets. The data the Alliant web site shows for a 200gr projectile is for lead SWC; there isn't a load for a 200 gr LRN bullet with Bullseye powder. I've ALWAYS been confused as to whether or not you can use SWC load data for a "normal" RN bullet.  My pure logical "Spock" side says no. I'll check all my manuals, but was hoping to find something specific on Alliant's web site since this HAS to be a very common load. Have a blessed Sunday, y'all... jvb ETA:Found good data in my Lee manual: .45 ACP200gr Lead Bullet Bullseye Starting load - 4.0gr Max load - 4.6gr Forgot to look there before posting question...DUH!!!  |

Glad you found the recipe. Look in your book and if you can compare the LRN with the LSWC I think you will find the recipe the same, in any case it will give you a comparison for future load development.

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
