F=ma-Am using the 200 gn lrnfp for 45 acp loads that work in semi's, Ruger's SA 45 acp cylinders and moon clips in 625. They work very well and produce minimal leading in smooth barrels. Also use these bullets for 45 AR, 45 LC and Webley revolvers.

Couple things you may want to check for or be aware of.

1-Check the bullet dia in front of the cannelure, mine are approximately .445. if the bullet is full dia in front of the crimp groove, be careful how far you seat them.

2-There isn't a lot of full diam section of bullet for interference fit with brass. Rounds using Thinner or worn out brass may have significant set back, when used in semi-autos.

3-There is significantly more available case volume when using these bullets. You may need to adjust your charge weights accordingly.
