Hi Everyone

I'm guessing you meant Titegroup.
Lee manual says for a 200 grn. jacketed bullet. Start 4.7 Max. 5.2 Min. OAL 1.155 This post was triple checked for typos

Just go to the reloading pages at Hodgdon.com.

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! |

"Bunnyfarts?" lol
Is that lighter or heavier than a "catsneeze?"

bunnyfart is definitely lighter than a catsneeze... but then, I have a 20lb cat.
