Hey folks.. Recently got in some of the .452/230gr FMJ\’s.. They look good and weigh out nicely.
Just curious if there\’s a recommended bullet profile to use when searching load data.
Thinking about using the Nos 230gr FMJ data on Hodgdon\’s site as a reference.
Any other suggestions besides the usual disclaimers?
Thanks.. d:^)
I\’ve been using a load suggested by an Alliant rep on another website. Snappy and accurate with these bullets.
6.7 grains BE-86
COAL 1.265
Average 856 ft/s
Springfield 5\” 1911
I\’ve also used WSF.
6.4 grains WSF
COAL 1.255
Average 833 ft/s
Springfield 5\” 1911
For the 230gr FMJRN I’ve been using 4.5gr of SW Clean Shot @ 1.258”. 752 fps in a Colt Gov’t 1911
