I know I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree, but here goes; I picked up 2lbs of Clay's(Hodgon) Powder, I load for both 155gr Lead Cast and 230gr plated in 45ACP. The loading data for the 155gr Lead is 4.9 to 5.2grs. The data for 230gr Plated is 3.5 to 4.0grs. Can anyone explain to my why the lighter weight lead bullet has a larger charge listed than the heavier plated bullet? Or have I had too many cups of java this morning.
I just don't want to ruin my gun or my hand. Thanks
