Ramshot Enforcer .45ACP load data?

Picked up a pound of Ramshot Enforcer when I ordered some other powders a week or two ago, but I'm having a hard time finding load data for cast bullets, namely 185gr SWC and 200gr SWC. I have an email in to Ramshot but I haven't heard back yet (been a few days).

After some google searching, I still haven't found any info.. nor are the manuals I have any help.

Anybody have some data they've used and tested with Enforcer for 45acp?

Thanks,
Chris

Enforcer's burn rate is to slow for normal .45 acp loads and I would wager that there is no published data, Ramshot's Competition or Silhouette are what you should have bought.
Do you reload for any magnum handgun cartridges ?

One of the things I really like about how Ramshot does business is they post a lot of loads for semi-auto handgun cartridges using lead bullets, including ones that are often skipped like 9mm and .40 S&W.

Ramshot's load guide is found at http://www.ramshot.com/powders/loadg...de%20V4.3b.pdf

The suitable powders for the bullets you mentioned would be Zip, True, Blue, Silhouette, and to a lesser extent, Competition. Zip and True Blue are my personal favorites for target shooting.

been using Zip for my 9mm loads. Never really looked at it for the .45...

Currently using Bullseye for the .45.

Should start cooking up a .45 load using Zip I guess.
