need some loading data for the 45-200-SWC and Green Dot please

[robpete]

Hi, I poured a bunch of 45-200SWC's yesterday and plan on loading up a few this weekend. I found a Green Dot recipe in the Lee book, but it seems a bit off. The starting and max load weights are the same. Odd. Are any of you loading this bullet with Green Dot? Will the OAL be the same as the HG 68(1.25)?

Thanks,
Rob

Straight from the Lyman Cast boolit manual for 45 ACP
4.5=715fps and 5.8=895fps I load at 4.5

I load my Saeco 200 SWC so the top of the front drive band is flush with the case mouth, they fit the mags and function fine.

Good deal. thanks Jake. Did they list a min. OAL?

set your oal by making a dummy round that will feed in your gun.
all the time every time no matter what.
then work your load up until you hit max/near max or you find reliability and accuracy.
the reliability/accuracy appeals to me, more than the maximum thing does.
a sometimes functioning gun is an expensive paper weight the rest of the time.
