SWC- Lead, Jacketed adjustment.

rcksil · November 6, 2005, 05:46 PM

Here is my question. I shoot 45acp 185 lead SWC and 185 jacketed SWC. I have heard that I cannot load them with the same load. Is this true, whats the problem? I am loading 5.8gr of W231 for both lead and the jacketed, which is copper. If there is supposed to be an adjustment, what is it. They both shoot well with the load. I picked up some American Select and want to play with it in 40 S&W as well with the 45. Thanks

I do the same for .45acp but in 200gr SWC, I use the same load and they crony real close. The Lyman reloading manual bears this out.
