Hello!

I am about to try reloading with my father for the first time (he has reloaded for the last 6 years). What I am wanting to reload is 45cal +P in FMJ. I have purchased Remington nickel-plated +P brass. and Remington 230gr FMJ bullets.

But I cant figure out what kind of primers or powder to get and I cant find load data for 45cal+p using remington 230gr FMJ.

Can I use any load data for 230-gr +p FMJ? Or do I need Remington data only? I have found loading data for 45+P for other bullets but there is always a disclaimer that you cant mix and match components. I understand that about powder, but how much does it matter for bullets or for primers?

Please help! I am leaving to visit my father in two weeks and I have between now and then to gather all the materials I need.

Thanks!
