Ketchum Quick, SASS #72923 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 I am looking for some ideas about loading some .45s. I have a nice supply of 200 grain bullets and a pile of Federal large pistol primers and now I just need to finish the formula. Please PM me with your ideas. I am looking for a light recoiling load. Thanks for the help, Ketchum Quick

Thanks for the help, Ketchum Quick Do you have some C45S brass? - I hear that is the BEST way to acheive the lighter loads with accuracy. GG ~
Jackson Rose, SASS #45478 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 IMR, Hodgdon and Winchester all publish "cowboy" loads. they are available on their web sites.

GG ~ No Gunner I am loading for my '73 and I do not have the special modded carrier to run that brass. Besides, my rifle has a 24 inch barrel, I am not too worried about top notch accuracy. KQ
Deschutes Drifter Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 IMR, Hodgdon and Winchester all publish "cowboy" loads. they are available on their web sites. ^^^^This pretty much, IMR has an online searchable laoding manual. You match p your caliber to your bullet and powder, and Bangor you got your minimum and max powder measure. All you are missin is some Trail Boss powder.... http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Try the loading data in the Hodgdon on-line manual: http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp for the 200 grain lead bullet and mid-to-low end Clays load. And my favorite is the low end 700X load. Little more accurate than Clays for me. Good luck, GJ
