I use 4.8 gr. of Titegroup behind a Barry's plated 230 gr. Round Nose bullet, with a COL of 1.200"

I have used this recipe for several years without issue. I realize that it is max., so you may want to back off a little.

You're not going to waste resources with Titegroup. Just keep in mind that it is a low-volume powder, so you do have to watch for double charges more closely than a higher volume powder.

I use the Hornady Powder Cop Die on my LnL AP. It works great. Others use the RCBS Lockout Die, which is even safer.
