45 acp powder selection

[SSGSAD]

When the time comes don't forget tried and true Bullseye with 230 grain Xtreme copper plated bullets. Depending on your 1911, assuming you have one, 4.6-4.9 grains usually does the trick.

For me and my S&W, 4.7 Bullseye, does the trick .....

230 FMJ .....

I always loaded Clays. 4.3-4.5gr under a 200gr pill of whatever sort. Very soft shooting load. Also pretty clean.

I load 185 SWC with Titegroup for my Sig 1911. Clean burning and meters very well in my Uniflow.

I need find a clean burning powder for 230gr FMJ.

I worked up some loads with CFE Pistol for my FNX 45T, 6.0gr, 6.2, 6.4, 6.5.

They all worked well unsuppressed, but had a bunch FTF malfunctions suppressed with all of them except 6.0gr, the lightest load. My guess is the slide was cycling too fast from the extra back pressure.

I also have a lot of unburn powder in my face when shooting suppressed.

I read about it online, it's a very slow burning powder for 45.

Clays. You need to try some Clays. I don't know where you live but if close I would give you some to try. I have more here then I will use in my lifetime.

5 grains of Red Dot behind a 230 grain cast. Have run thousands of those.

I've run 231 and Unique as of late. Used to run Bullseye but it proved to be really dirty comparatively. Just recently tried Unique and am pretty happy with it after about 500 rounds.

Clay's is the cleanest burning 45 powder I have ever used. The only thing even close is VV 310 or 320($$$$$$)
