I have been reloading 44 REM MAG for a while and no issues.
I am new to 45ACP and not sure if my thoughts are correct.
I keep finding conflicting information and now I am very confused.
My components are: LPP Brass, CCI LPPrimers, Hodgdon CFE and Berry's 230Gr PRN @ .452. (First time using Berry's bullets)
The Hodgdon site shows a max load of 6.2gr and a C.O.L. 1.200"
My Hornady reloading manual shows a max load of 6.9gr and a C.O.L. of 1.210 @ .451 (jacketed). It does not have a CFE listing for LRN @ .452.
Should the Berry's plated be treated the same as a cast LRN since the plating is more thin than what a jacketed RN would be?
IOW, I think since the Berry's are .452, I need to drop the CFE from my planned 6.6 grains down to 6.2(max) or lower?
