I have quite a bit of these powders, and haven't used them much.

Anyone got pet loads for .38 special, .357 magnum, and .45ACP?

In the 45 Auto I use 4.2 700X with a 200 LSWC with very good results. This is a light target load but will operate most any factory sprung 5" 1911. 4.8 700X with a 230 FMJ, listed as a MAX load by Lyman, shoots well in many of my 45s.

I use a lot of Rex II and III in the 357/38 much the same as you would use Green Dot and Unique. The data is not interchangeable but close.

I guess this kind of gets me in the ball park. I just want to be sure to not get near maximum on any of my loads.

2.7-2.8gr of 700X behind a (WDWW+2% Sn) Lee TL148grWC using a light crimp in the first groove with Win SPP works very well for me in 357 cases and my S&W 586. It's my backup load when I can't get Bullseye.

ric, 5gr 700X with a 452460 200gr SWC is my go to load for my 1911. All 45s I`ve tried it in function great. ... dale
