    45 gap 230gr data

    Anyone here load for 45GAP? I had a load using 200gr RN plated bullets but that market has dried up. I have a Lee 230gr truncated cone mold I use for 45acp. I have lovex powder and have found data for a 230gr RN I'm hesitant to use the TC boolits in it's place without any other load data. Anyone happen to load this combo of boolits and cartridge?

    Yes, I know. That's why I was asking here. There's plenty of 230gr on the market but not any load data.

    The Lyman 49th Edition has the info you need. I'd post a picture, but that would be a copyright infringement

    my 45gap XD hated 230s (only ones i could find in 05 when it first came out), had it for 6 months, shot them so bad, it almost went on consignment at the local shop, then reloaded some 200s, it shot 200s ok but loved 185s. it went from a bigger than a softball sized group with 230s at 10 yards off a shooting rest to being able to shoot 12 gauge shells (7 to 8 out of 10) while standing off the top of the 10yard backstop with the 185s
