Just picked up a new .45 ACP Dan Wesson 1911 which is supposed to be here by the end of the week (fingers crossed), and although I will shoot some factory ammo through her for a couple of weeks to break her in, I want to start thinking about reloading for her as well.
I have looked around at a bunch of recipes, and although the data is readily available, I can't tell a great load from a poor load.
I am not looking for recipes, I can find that, but just wondering for you 1911 folks, especially anyone with a Dan Wesson (full-size), what powder/bullet combination have you found to be the best in your gun? I am probably going to stick with 230 gr. RN for now.
I have Titegroup, W231/HP-38 and PowerPistol already, but would be willing to try something else as well.
I will of course work up my own loads, but with so many choices, I would love some advice as to a few places to start.
Thanks in advance.
