does anyone have a sugestion on a powder charge using unigue with a 230 lead round nose bullet? i have loaded jhp before but not lead bulllets in 45 acp. i am looking for velocity in the low 800 fps range. my manuals have a lot of info on jhp but little info on lead bullets.
i went to alliant powders web site and used the 5.0 grns they recomended, those loads seemed really light. i tried them in both my kimber pro carry and charles daly pistols and they gave me trouble cycling the slide. i was getting about 1 jam per magazine with the daly less with the kimber. both pistols seem to work fine with other ammo, they just didn't like thses light loads.
i have heard of people using up to 6.0 grns of unique with this bullet wght. i am just looking for accuracy and enough power to reliably cycle the slide. i am thinking about maybe 5.5 grns on my next try. any sugestions?
