RE: [BULLSEYESHOOTERS] Reload for .45

I am with Norm. I use about 4.0 grains of Clays with both 200 SWCs and 185
SWCs. The 200s seem to be more forgiving. I mean they seem to work in
everything but the 185s--some guns shoot well with them and some don't. I
have a Springfield that works great with both. My Gold Cup is fine with the
200s but erratic with 185s. Bullseye powder is equally accurate but Clays
shoots cleaner and you have less malfunctions as the gun gets dirty. I hope
this helps.

Subject: [BULLSEYESHOOTERS] Reload for .45


I am open to suggestions when it comes to reloading .45 for Bullseye
Shooting. I am currently using Winchester 231 using 200 Grn SWC and
I am using a charge of 4.4 grns with a light spring. Does anyone
have another possible charge to recommend? Or What about using 185
SWC? Does it really may much of a difference in accuracy? Also is
there anything I should watch for or do with the crimp?
This is what happens when you are new to something.. you ask
questions. RIGHT?

You're certainly in the ballpark already. The classic bullseye load is 4.0 of Bullseye powder under a 200 grain LSWC. That's the load everything else is...
