    ww-231 or Bullseye buy em both by the keg because from 32 to 45 cal they are very reliable for accuracy in most non magnum loads,, for me anyways

    I agree with the Red Dot load. I`ve also used HP-38, Win. 231, Unique, and even Herco.Robert

    I'm a fan of the AA powders .... I like both AA#5 and AA#7 for the .45 acp, depending on the application.

    +1 for Titegroup and the 200 grain SWC in the .45 Acp. After many thousands of rounds it works for me and groups are one ragged hole.

    3.5grs Red Dot is accurate & fun.
    Bullseye is still my favorite.
    I was trying to hit the bottom bullet hole at 20 feet. Custom Ballerina Molester/my avatar.

    I was gifted two 8lb jugs of BE one was opened with less than 1/4 out of it. That was 2001 I'm still on the first one. at < 5.0 gr. for about anything it's good for.Nothing has given me better performance over the widest range of handgun cartridges and bullet weights.BE and cast lead is heaven especially for older revolvers not needing hot rodding.

    If I had a Ballerina Molester thats the load I would shoot in it.
    Back before it quit me my phillipino special rock island liked power pistol with rcbs 45-201
    The colt likes unique and 452460
    I havent found any thing the ruger likes yet mainly cause after a half day of shooting it trying to find something that shot good, the blasted front sight up an fell off i was pretty disgusted at that point and put it up where i couldnt see it for awhile.

    I chuckled when I saw the word play on Ballester-Molina. My apologies to the Nutcracker!

    Personally, I like 4.0 Red Dot with that 200 grain bullet.

    It wasn't word play. That is what you apparently typed or your phone auto-corrected. As of this moment , your picture post still says Ballerina Molester.
