I just finished casting around 250 Lee TC 230gr 45ACP only problem is my mold that has always dropped boolits right at 230/231 has dropped these at 240/241 and after sizing and lubing these they sit at 243gr.
The lead I used is from a counter weight and only added some tin to help with fill out. These cast beautiful ALL nice and shiny with no frosting great fill out. So I'm thinking that my alloy is close to pure lead as they are 10/11gr heaver than normal.
I would like to try these out in my pistol but am having a little problem finding load data for the 240gr boolits. The powder's that I have on hand are Titegroup, Universal, Clays, Unique, H110 and 2400.
I'm sure that if they don't lead my barrel I can shoot these, and I just bought a Chrony so I can better work up and check my loads. So does anyone have any load data to start with? I'm just looking for around 750/775 FPS outta these.
Anyone else load and shoot PL boolits in 45ACP? Any problems in the 1911 using "softer" boolits? I don't have a problem with remelting and "fixing" the alloy but I did already size and pan lube them so......
