Default Meister 178s and Bullseye

Anyone loading this in 45acp? That's what I have and I can't seem to find any load data for it. Will be for my 325NG.

If I couldn't find load data specifically for the meister bullet I would try loads for other 180gr LSWC bullets, I load 158gr LSWC meister bullets in .38 and use data for other LSWC 158gr bullets to load with, it seems to work just fine.

I just loaded a batch of 178 gr. cast bullets, CP brand, that I have had for a long time. My original load was 6.0 gr. 452AA, (tells you how long ago that was). Unfortunately that powder has been discontinued long ago. Since it was replaced by Win. Super Target, and I do use that for other 45 loads, I worked up to 5.3 grains WST, and it comes out at about 925 fps. It is very accurate in both my Gold Cup and my Brazilian in moon clips.

I've used 4.2 grains of Vit N310. I get modest but not stellar accuracy. Speed in mid 700s.
