7000 grains / 4.2 x 8lbs = 13,333 rounds.

I'd say you're good.

Lee TL 200 SWC WW alloy over 5.5 231 gently seated and taper crimped into range brass and a WLP primer to get the party started. Cheap, easy and does exactly what I want it to do. Wish a knew a woman like that.

Hey Jack, I wonder if we are in the same neck of the woods?

Anyway, I noticed that 260 grain Speer load in my Speer 11 manual and have often thought about it. I've read a couple other threads over the years where guys, including Taffin, had some heavy bullet loads in the old 45 auto.

I actually have a 45 Super set up and do run a 265 grain Beartooth WFNGC bullet to 1000 fps with ease. More than that as well, but like the 1000 fps load the best for basic woods walkin' or fishing up on Eagle Creek or the Sandy river.

Don't have a favorite load yet, but I've had good luck with 5.1 grains of vihtavuori N32C over a 230gr bullet. A bit mild, I think I can go up to 5.5 still. Will have to chrono and see.

Once I get my H&G #68 mihec mold I suspect thats the bullet I will be using for .45ACP and nothing else. Not a big fan of having a buncha different types, I want one for each caliber and stick to that.

G'day All.
Mine is a Lee 225gr RN Lubed with BAC seated to 1.205 in Federal small primer cases over 5.0gr W231.
This fired in a Para GI Expert.
Nice load. And accurate at 20 metres.

I just loaded some Lee 230 gr RN over 4.6gr Bulls Eye. We'll see how that runs, any thoughts?

H & G #68 and 4gr Bullseye.

For years that was my "go-to" load. I think you will be pleased.

5.7 grains of Herco pushing a Lee TL452-230-2R lubed with JPW if I TL and WWVA if i size it in the Lyman 45, seated to 1.260 OAL. I have also used Clays International, 3.8 to 4.1 grains pushing the same boolit at the same OAL. A word of caution, Hodgdon no longer lists loads for Clays international in anything other than shotguns, I got my load info from an Aussie who used to shoot it in IPSC before the blokes down under banned the .45 ACP from private ownership, he said he had shot 50 pounds of it as ADI was his sponsor. There used to be .45 ACP info printed on the label of Clays International. I take no responsibility for your extremities or your weapons if you use my load data.

I have an NEI mold throwing a 230 RNFP.. I sent it to a genius, erik@hollowpointmold.com & he turned it into a great hollow point mold. I mix 2lbs. of linotype w/20lbs. WW & come up with a 240 gr. hollow point. I use 5.1gr. of 231 & it feeds through my 2 kimbers & my friend's AMT Hardballer. It is extremely accurate, but I haven't chronograph-ed it...
