...I have some favorite loads for this caliber. The one that pinky mentioned with AA#9 is a favorite. My H&G #502 cast from wheel weights weighs right in there at 250gr and I have had it moving up to 1100fps out of a 4" tube. Let me tell you, that will rock your world for you! It is a published load, so don't anyone get put out by it! ....Here is a picture of some of them:....That being said, there are a few loads I would like to share with you that I personally like to shoot from both a 1911 and my M625JM.Indoor target: 4.7gr Bullseye or 5.2gr AA#2 under a 230gr plated bullet, either Berry's or Ranier's. This will get you right at 780fps out of a 5" auto or a 4" revolver. I also cast a bunch H&G #68, 200gr bullets along with a Lee copy of the same. Both shoot very well and are exceptionally accurate. Again, for target type of shooting or plinking, 4.0gr to 4.5gr Bullseye or 5.0gr of AA#2. Exceptionally accurate.I have used some loads for the 45AR in my 45ACP cases only with bullets that won't begin to chamber in the 1911. Let me show you a few of the bullets I like to load. One thing is for sure, the one on the right is a thumper @ 270gr! ......p.s. Paul, I do need some more of them! If you want, I'll take about 100 without the lube! Or I could babysit your mold for you for a while! ..
