.45 acp load using Titewad

Hi Everyone

Anyone have a good load using Hodgdon Titewad with either a
230 lead Rn or-200 gr rainier rn.
Gonna be working up a new load this weekend and was looking for a good starting point.
Have to use this till my bullseye gets in from backorder!!!!

And here ya go:http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp since Hodgdon makes both TiteWad and TiteGroup. Both very fast burners with limited performance potential so it kinda depends on what you call a "Good Load". Both are bunnyfart capable but I really don't like such fast burning powders, not even for .45 ACP. Then again, I'm not crazy about Bullseye either. The fastest burner that I occasionally use is WST for bunnyfarts.

Thanks everyone for the help!
I loaded a batch of 200rn rainer using Titewad.
started off at 3.0 grs powder
and increased by .1 all the way to 3.9.
All in all at 3.5 thru 3.6 a nice mild plinking round.
Cycled perfect from 5 of my different 45's and it was for the
most part pretty clean..

I also loaded a batch of 230 lrn
loaded with 3.1 grs of titewad that also got the job done.

Thanks for everyones helping me find the reloading data for it!
