TRAP 100

Red Dog · September 21, 2011, 02:32 PM

I recently came across about 2lbs. I have loaded 45acp but no longer have the
data. Since it discontinued I can't find any loading data. Calling on fellow members for help. As much info as possible for 9,40,45,38 spec. I haven't decided on specs like lead, jacket or weight.

FYI. Not much help from Hodgdons

Trap 100 might be the same powder as WW 452AA:

Yes but still no data.

Trap 100 is indeed WW452AA, one of the Hodgdons told me so when I was trying to use up some 452 in pistols.

So I used Trap 100 data they furnished for loading WW452.

.45 ACP 200 gr SWC in 5" Wilson barrel
4.2 gr W452 = 763 fps
4.5 gr W452 = 803 fps
4.8 gr W452 = 826 fps
5.0 gr W452 = 849 fps

.45 ACP 230 gr LRN in 5" Wilson barrel
4.5 gr W452 = 763 fps

Repeat, this was WW label powder but using Trap 100 data.

I never used any in other calibers, my main product at the time was .45 ACP for IDPA CDP, the 200/5 grain load.
CAUTION: I no longer have the base data and don't know how close to maximum I was running.

Any long time reloaders with any data?
