45 ACP 185gr LHP
 
I got some Lead hollow points 185grain for my 45 ACP from Precision Delta.
I was looking to see if anyone has any load data for the bullets. Having a hard time finding some info. I can find data on 185 grain Jacketed, but not for Lead.
Anyone have any data or a link to a data source, I would appreciate it.

Thank you

Jay

Just use 230gr data to start with.

Damn straight. I am willing to bet that 5.0gr of HP-38 will give you a sweet round...

I say that because 5.0gr of HP-38 is a great load for a LOT of .45 weights. And by lot I mean 200, 220, 230... So why not 185?

my lyman cast book shows 5.4 of 231 starting if that helps

what powder are you using?

Of course that looks better. Since it is a lighter bullet you need to fill more space up behind it... okay so 5.0 might not cycle. But it is great for the others...

xThe Reddot loads shown and the 700x work and and are not bad to shoot.

I Just did a new load today on the same bullet. I used 7gr of Longshot and it was nice, a bit snappy but nice. I was going to sale all my Longshot but decided to keep it as a back up powder. I used 7.0 gr of powder, 1.250 OAL and a .469 crimp. If I have to use Longshot again I will up the charge to 7.2. Hodgdon reloading data has a starting at 7.2gr minimum and 8.2 gr max load with a 185gr LSWC bullet so I used this as a starting point. Attached is a picture of my target that I was practicing double taps at different distances (3-15 yards).
