Alliant Power pistol powder???
Any one load hard cast lead in a 45ACP? Got a suggestion on a good starting load.
And please don’t tell me there are better powders, I already know that. I am trying to help a friend start reloading. He is using my equipment and his supplies.
I told him what powders to get (W231 or unique) but some nitwit at a gun show talked him into power pistol. And it had nothing to do with the fact that power pistol was the only powder he had.
There are a lot of loads for jacketed but I haven’t been able to find any for lead. Also Alliant manuals only give max loads not starting loads.
Any help would be appreciated. 45ACP with 200 Gr Hard cast.
