Good info, may I ask what platform you used?Should work fine.
Granted, it is not the best powder for .45 ACP, but it will work and produce a good fireball.
"My" velocity tests have this charge around 825 fps with a modest S-dev of around 20.
9.0 drops you below 800, and 9.8 is pretty stout and generates squirrely groups.
almost looks like a Speer Gold Dot230 grain HP, unsure of the make...they don't look like XTP's. View attachment 240426
.....hard time getting consistent loads. I was getting variations up to and occasionally over 1 full grain.
I'll likely end up using a trickler if I can't get consistent throws. That's what I did when I first started using titegroup before I built up the confidence in my equipment.Because of the shape of the powder pellets, I had a hard time getting consistent loads. I was getting variations up to and occasionally over 1 full grain. Be careful if you're going up near max pressure, and spend the time necessary to get your powder feeder set accurately. I stopped using it for pistol rounds because it was too variable for my tastes.
Worked well with 9.2 grains. Only ran one mag through my RIA TACT II and ran fine.WELL????? I'm late too the party, but you can go to the speer site and click tab for reloading and get load data and/or go to western powders and download the whole manual for FREE! It also has +p load info.
