I used to shoot SASS using both Lee's 200 and 255gr rnfp in .45 Colt and Schofield. Well, life happened and I haven't shot SASS in about 10yrs and the "Cowboy" guns have slowly left one by one. Now the only .45 I have is a 1911 that I carry daily and I've had to use XTP's because it doesn't reliably feed the rnfp's. It will feed them but it just doesn't feel smooth. Definitely not as smooth as the XTP's. So, I ordered Lee's 6 cavity 230gr tc with lube groove because it has a profile very similar to the XTP. It arrived yesterday. I cleaned it, smoked it and tried it out today. I poured 150 bullets, lubed them with the Lubri-sizer, and loaded 50 test rounds. Lubed with SPG they weigh 235gr. I put the first 2 loaded rounds in the mag and released the slide, locked it back and released it again. "LIKE BUTTA!" Man they feed smoother than the rnfp's , and as good or better than the XTP's! I can hardly wait to see how they shoot. I loaded 5rds each of 5 different charges of Unique and Titegroup. I figure anything 750fps or faster will do nicely for SD.
I'll let ya know how the shoot when I get a chance to try'em out.
