OK, I think I have a little problem.
Up until now, the only 45ACP I have only been reloading is the 200grn LSWC. I have a recipe that works great with those. Just 30 minutes ago, I finished an hour of reloading and finished up 264 rounds. That just happened to be the rest of my 200grn LSWC bullets. I have 1000 230grn RNL bullets sitting there, waiting to be loaded that I ordered about a month ago. I checked in my Lyman manual and they don't list that bullet. The closest they have is a 225grn RNL bullet. So I made my way to IMR's page to check loading data for the 230grn RNL bullet. One of the recipes they have is as follows.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
230 GR. LRN
DIA: .452" COL: 1.200"
Trail Boss 4.5 761 15,100 CUP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using 700X powder so that recipe obviously won't work.
They also have the following recipe listed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
230 GR. REM LRN
DIA: .451" COL: 1.270"
HiSkor 700-X 4.7 775 17,700 CUP
PB 5.5 810 17,900 CUP
SR 7625 6.2 825 17,700 CUP
HiSkor 800-X 7.2 860 18,000 CUP
SR 4756 7.5 960 17,800 CUP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK great, here is a recipe that lists the 700X powder. However they way they listed the bullet "230 GR. REM LRN" What does the "REM" stand for? Also the bullets I received have written on the front that the DIA is .452
Now what?
