Favorite handload.

[tbtrout 141]

What is your favorite load for your guns?

If your load is at or over high pressure limits or under limits please state that as well. If the load is firearm specific, such as 45-70 for Trapdoors,Marlins or Rugers please state that. We do not want anyone to get hurt. If you are using any loads from this, keep in mind it is not a substitute for properly working up a load for your firearm.

 

This has quickly become my favorite for 45:

 

200 lswc, with 3.7 gr of Trail Boss- the recoil is so light in a 1911 it feels like a target 38 spec

45 acp

Missouri (lead) IDP #4 XD 200 grs

Win 231 - 4.8 grs (low end of the spectrum)

OAL 1.200

its great in my XD service

 

Glock 19

Zero FMJ FP 125 grs

Win 231 4.2 grs (low end on the spectrum)

OAL 1.130

 

Zero's were out of stock so I am currently using

Montana Gold CMJ 124 grs

Win 231 4.2 grs

OAL 1.130

 

I have tried Titegroup & Clays for my 45 acp...its OK. Like 231 better

If I am using 231 in my 45 I like 5.3 gr under a 200 LSWC.
