Lee 452-230 2R with Titegroup or Blue Dot?

[frankenfab]

Has anybody used either of these 2 powders with this boolit? I am getting ready to load about 3000, and I would like to use a powder that already have enough of on hand.

There is no data for this combo in the Lee manual, and I did a search here. The Lyman 3rd lists 7.5 to 10.7 grs. for the #452374 225 gr. boolit.

I did a search here. I would like some confirmed Titegroup data so I could save the Blue Dot for 45 Win. Mag.

Just looking for a standard 850 fps. load.

thanks!

hmmm with the hornady boolit (and 7th book) titegroup is listed at 4.2@750 to 5.3 MAX @900 fps, 850 listed @ 5.0 grains

Does it matter which cartridge we give data for?

[frankenfab]

Why no, Rocky, I would never turn down good load data from a fellow member.

I wasn't very clear. I was looking for 45 ACP load data, and I forgot to say it was the tumble lube boolit as well. I hadn't really considered shooting this boolit in .45 Win. Mag, I'd certainly like to hear about it!

Thanks fryboy, I found the Titegroup data in my Hornady manual as well. I think it's a great baseline for sure. I just wondered if anybody had already done all the work with that excact boolit, and I certainly want to be safe.

my best loads with that boolit were with unique and my best groups was only about 1/3 of the way up the ladder , ran a bit of red dot thru it too but not the two powders u listed ( that's why i had to refer to a manual ) i only have that mold in a single cavity so it's no wonder i dont shoot alot of it anymore really love the lyman hp tho !!!!

4.5 grs. of TG works in my RIA .45 using that boolit. I have my Lee Pro 1000 set up for that load ONLY. WDWW alloy.

[frankenfab]

Thanks! I am just wanting to load up a bunch of practice fodder next week, since I have some time off. .

Maybe 4.5 to 5grs. will turn out to be an "old faithful" load.



I heard Titegroup is clean burning, too.

I use 5.0 TG with both 230 FMJ and 230 RN from the group NOE buy. Works great, about the same as BE and just like hardball. S/F.....Ken M

I found loads for BlueDot in the 45 ACP, but I'd bet they run pretty dirty at such low pressure. I think the TG is your best ticket.

Now, moving along to 45 AR, 45 Colt, 45 S&W, 45-70, 450 Marlin, 45 American ...

[MtGun44]

4.5 or so of TG should be excellent. My all the time std .45 ACP load is 200 H&G 68 over
4.8 TG or 4.7 BE, same same. Great load. I'd drop the charge a hair to account for the
extra 30 gr boolit wt. IMO Blue Dot will be too slow to work well for the cartridge.

I use TG and that same bullit for CAS shooting. TG is very clean burning, but has a very loud report. I keep using it because I get so many more loads from each pound. DR
