Still have only done a couple hundred rounds, but my most recent batch of (~200), 230 gr RN, 5.4 gr Unique 45 ACP rounds were just shockingly accurate at the range today. At pretty much all ranges, it was beating the holy heck out of my WWB, which I also had on hand.

Is this more likely because of the inherent "precision" of handloading (I'm slow and careful as a beginner), or maybe just a better match of load to my 1911?

In any case, I was grinning from ear to ear and shaking my head in disbelief as I went through the first 100 and cut a neat 3-4" circle at around 7 yards.

Cool!
