Thumbs up Loading for my first Smith & Wesson Semi-Auto

I finally took the plunge and got a S&W semi-auto. Our local pusher just took in some PD guns. They are 4566, 45ACP, and in great shape. Some holster wear, who cares for a shooter!

I ran most of my main loads for other guns through it.
200gr RNFPHP with Bullseye under them, 200gr LSWC H&G#68 with Bullseye under them too.

First though was some of the 230gr Berry's I loaded the other night. I didn't chronograph them out of this gun yet but I will.

I can tell you this too, it took everything I gave it. Not one jam or FTF! Pretty cool!

It is one of the most accurate firearms I have ever shot!

I will post more as I do testing.

Anyone else reload for one of these?

I have a 4566 TSW with a Streamlight TLR1 as my nightstand gun. It is a bit heavy but a very accurate gun that will eat anything and never had a jam or any problems. I just use whatever I shoot in my other 45's but stick mostly with RN bullets. Almost as accurate as some 1911's.

Mine's more accurate than some 1911's I've shot.
