Yes I am loading Berry's 185gr FP and 200gr FP along with 200gr RN and Xtreme 200gr RN.
Cheaper than most Jacketed and on par with many cast. |

"...also want a personal defense load..." A cast 230 target load will disrupt anybody's day with no fuss. One must practice regularly with the ammo you intend using for CCW.

Thank you everyone for the helpful advice and recommendations. As well as for the info re: headspacing. That's the type of feedback a newbie needs. Thanks again.
On recommendations I ordered some 200gr LSWC (Bullseye#1) from MissouriBullet, and some 230 FMJ MHI from RMR. Thanks again guys. |

I seat mine to 1.240"; have for over three decades - which puts the shoulder of the bullet about 1/32" or so above the case mouth. I actually have a dedicated seat die for this bullet - it's locked down and loads nothing else. This dimension is not quite to the lands on my guns (per Unclenick's illustration/post); but I've run into feeding problems going longer. Accuracy is excellent in spite of not touching the lands.

I buy cast 200 gr RN from thebulletworks.net, use them in 1911 guns and a 625 revolver. I usually order 2000 at a time, good bullets at a fair price. They also sell SWC and plated bullets. I use a 200 SWC cast from Rucker for Bullseye shooting. I get the Ruckers from SW Ammo in Mesquite, TX. I buy 9mm plated and jacketed from RMR, plated from Berrys, bulletworks, Extreme, I can't honestly tell any difference in the plated bullets, I buy from whoever is cheapest and has them in stock. 124 gr RN in the 9mm.

Thirtysomething posts in and I can't believe I get to suggest my FAVORITE bullet distributor before anyone else.

ZEKE at post 21:
That is the old Saeco 315 mold. Magnus also sells that bullet in lead and calls it a "bowling pin bullet" Loaded at 850 fps, it knocks pins off the table with authority. I use it for a carry round at just a little bit higher vel. It feeds like a dream in all my 1911s. However, for general range fun, a 200 gr. SWC clone of the H&G 68 over 4 grs of Bullseye is as sublime and iconic as it gets. |

jaysouth-Thanks, it's been quite awhile since i used magnus bullets. Am evaluating switch to the coated 215 grainer in the shorter 1911 carry gun. Pretty easy to make a milder recoiling round that has a large meplat out front. This bullet at 800 fps from 3 in seems like a decent alternative to 230 jhp at around 850 fps.
Used to shoot alot of the Magnus 801, they used to call the short 185 swc. |

Montana Gold is probably the most cost effective when you buy them by the case even compared to plated bullets.
