    New mold

    Just ordered a Lee six Cavity 200gr RFN for my sons 45 Auto1911 made in Turkey.
    Has any one used this boolit in their 45 Autos and what kind of loads did you use?

    These are my pet loads worked up for a 1911 AMT Hardballer . 200 grain RF or SWC cast boolit sized .452 . General purpose range loads for paper targets and tin cans ... based on whatever powder you can get your hands on ...shortages suck rocks .
    These fully function the 5" AMT Hardballer .

    45 acp / 200 gr. cast rnfp or swc / sized .452 / Lithi-Bee lube

    4.5 grs. W231 / HP38 = 808 fps
    4.5 grs. Bullseye = 830 fps
    4.7 grs . AA #2 = 832 fps
    4.0 grs. Titegroup = 860 fps
    4.2 grs. Red Dot = 794 fps
    4.0 grs 700X = 824 fps

    Hope this helps get you started .

    I like it over HP-38/231. You may have to seat it fairly deep.

    Thanks to both of you. I've got lots of Bullseye and Red Dot. I think I have a can of 700X also.
