I'am looking for a 850-860fps .45acp load using a 230gr cast rn lead bullet and power pistol. I want this load for a 1911 5" government model. Need actual velocity chronographed from 5" barrel.
Or, you could just send them an email like I didI know the online Alliant Reloader's Guide has limited data for Power Pistol, but here's how to get a whole lot more from Alliant online. This works for most of their powders.
You will get an astounding list of cartridges with Power Pistol recipes.
- Go to the Alliant home page.
- Don't go to the Reloader's guide.
- Click the pulldown menu button "Products".
- Click the type of powder, in this case Handgun.
- (Note: Some handgun powders are listed under shotgun.)
- Click on the powder you want, in this case Power Pistol.
- Find the blue text, "View All Power Pistol Recipes".
Probably 10 times as many recipes compared to the online Reloader's Guide.
You can also get their printed manual, which also has more data.
In this expanded list, it only has jacketed and plated bullets for Power Pistol,
simply because they view PP as more than a plinking powder.
But you will see that they list some rather heavy loads.
Compare these to your other books, like Lyman Pistol & Revolver.
