45 Colt data?

[CWendling]

Does anyone have load data for 45 Colt with 230gr lead and Red Dot? None of the books I own show any, and I have a bunch of red dot and some 230gr I want to shoot up since i dont have an ACP anymore. Thanks

couple of mine suggest 4.5 to 6.5 for a 250 grain lead. for up to 864 fps

you got lead bullet or jacketed.

6.7 to 7.2 for a 225 jacketed. up to 905 fps.

yes, thanks. I have lots of data for 250s. Seeing if anyone has anything listed for 230 lead

Different SAA and rifles. While I appreciate the other responses, not a single one had any load data for Red Dot with 230g lead. I have plenty of load data for other bullets/powders. I was just seeing if anyone had a manual with any data for that particular combo.

excuse me.

but, I would not accept loads off of the internet ver batem.

I'd start low and work up and try to verify as much as possible.

I realize 250s are not 230s, but a mid load of the 250s would be a starting point, just like any load I received from the internet/forum.

You didn't say you had 250 data, much less lead bullets. Specifics Bob, specifics.

Over and out.

I have some for Red Dot in Hornady's Third Edition. But it is for the 200gr lead. And dose not list anything for the 250gr in Red Dot. Those are the only two bullet weights it shows for 45LC.

My Hornady 9th Edition shows nada for 230gr. in 45LC. Only 250gr

And nada in my Nosler book. Only 250gr.

You might put one or the other up on the Reloading trades thread for something you can use a little easier?

Correct, I didnt say I had 250 data. But I wasnt looking for 250-255gr data. And yes, I could do that with a mid 250s load, but I was curious if anyone had it in a book that I hadnt looked in yet or in one of the powder manufacture's pamphlets.

And yes, my original post says '230gr lead'. Read Bob, read
