Hi KCRaider21, I'm new to the forum too. But I've been loading 45ACP since 1985. I've loaded lots of recipes over the years. I've settled on just a few loadings after lots n lots of shooting. The two I use the most are: 200g Friendswood LSWC, 5.0g Win 231, CCI 500. And: 200g Speer (#4475) JSWC, 8.8g HS-6, CCI 500. Both loadings are in compliance with the Speer Loading Manual #14. Cartridge Overall Length (COL) are 1.23" for the lead; and 1.27" for the jacketed.
I use an RCBS press (I don't know the model - it was made in 1984) and dies. I also use a Lee Factory Crimp Die ("FCD"). I recently added the step of using the Lee FCD and it has worked wonders to reduce what few feeding and cycling problems I had.
