I promised to post my test results and I just got back from the range, so here it is:

4.5gr 452AA, 200gr hard cast LSWC
4.3gr 452AA, 230gr hard cast LRN

The first load is mild but very accurate, like my W231 load. Thanks LIProgun.

The second load has a little more 'POP' but is still in the midrange category. Also very accurate.

I had a hard time deciding which gun to use for the test. At the last minute I chose a LW Commander. It shoots real good and is my latest acquisition.

I will chronograph both loads next time I shoot outdoors. There was no trace of leading and no problems in 50 rounds. I think it will be a sad day for me when I use the last grain of this stuff. My Dillon loves it.

This was fun. I haven't tried a new .45ACP load in many years. Many thanks to LIProgun, Terry Murbach and BillOH.
