Titegroup is great for solid, easy shooters in 44Special. Way cleaner than green dot and meters better too. Step it up with CFE pistol if you want a little more oomph but then again, if you want oomph you shoot 44Mag!

I went out yesterday and sized two loaf pans of the Lyman 452630 bullets, then cast up around 800 or so 9mm bullets from the Saeco 115 mold. Those are a very nice 130 gr RN bullet. A very nice tapered style.
I know it was mentioned in the other thread, but I highly recommend you get the Lee Reloading Manual and read the first part before you get started. Lots of useful information in there.

I went out yesterday and cast some more Saeco 115 bullets. Started coating them. I cast a total of right at 1500.
Then I cast some bullets from a NOE 178 SP .30 cal mold. Beautiful bullets.
Oh, I got the last of the Lyman 452630 bullets sized and loaded 200 rounds with some Saeco 115 bullets I had on hand.

Google "modern reloading PDF" and you can download it free.
Tweeked my back Friday so my wife out me on light duty. I separated a small box of brass from my last range trip. Started cleaning brass as well. Also looking up load data for 45gap. Looks like the 230s I use won't work for that so gonna have to get some new bullets. Waiting to hear back from a friend with the quickload software to see what will work with the powders I have on had.

True Blue in GAP is awesome but you can load it with titegeoup or power pistol as well. I loaded 230s, I'd have to look up my data but you can easily get 800FPS within that pressure envelope. I bet CFE pistol would do well also as a medium speed powder but it wasn't out when I loaded GAP.
I think I'm gonna go with a 185. I've always wanted to try some in the acp anyway. I was hoping to get data for the lovex powder I have but haven't heard back about the quickload data yet. I'm thinking a quicker powder would be better though for a shorter barrel. I've got a half keg of red dot laying around still as well as some 231. I'll half to go back and look at data for the 185 and see if they'll do what I want them to do. I've heard red dot was the bee's knees for 45acp.

I picked up a pound of Lil Gun and a pound of CFE Black.
I'm going to start reloading .300 blackout soon since I've got a pistol upper on the way.
Just need to find some damn brass.

Good choices on powder. I've got a couple buckets of BLK if you are in the Austin area. I dont load it anymore so I normally sell it off.
Finished base sizing a drum of 40 while I loaded 9, processed 40, put together some 454 Casull samples and then worked on my 45-70 loads for testing tomorrow.

Scrub and clean it like normal. If it's lead it will still be there.
I will say it does look like lube though.
