I'm looking for a good load to fire in my .45 ACP's. I'm using Berry's plated bullets and Titegrope powder. When I follow data I've seen, the OACL is too short looking (2.20 reccomended for LRN vs my normal 2.60 for FMJ)
The correct length for .45 ACP 230gr roundnose is 1.2", NOT 2.2". SAAMI max OAL for .45 ACP is 1.275".

I load 4.2gr Titegroup under 230gr Berry .45 roundnose at 1.2" OAL. Just fast enough to be legal for USPSA single stack and IDPA/CDP. Easy to control.
