250-255 .45ACP loads

[olmarriedman]

Any suggestions for 250-255grain cast bullets loads for a .45acp? I have used the following powders for 200-230 cast bullets Rex3, WST, H110, True Blue.

Sorry mike in co. I did not notice until i read your reply. Saw the cast and posted it. It was the first post I started. I will watch more closely.

Welcome aboard, with that said, I've dabbled a little bit with heavy boolits in a 1911, can't remember the load I settled on but it used Herco.

Never used it in a .45ACP, just a .45 auto-rim. One of the guys at the range shoots heavy .45 though accurately and functionally flawless.
