I shot 60 .45 ACP this morning. CCI LPP, VV n320 5 gr, 230 GR xtreme plated bullet, 1.275 COL. I was shooting from a full size sig 250. Modest recoil, very accurate.

What was your PF??

Not very adept but at the muzzle velocity (assumed based on recipe), 230 grain bullet out of .451 is 181. I don't know if that's really very good as I'm a bit of a novice on the reloading. Probably be bumped up. It was a fun plinking round.

You'd need to have a chronograph and measure the bullets speed in feet per second in order to calculate power factor correctly

Yes. I was estimating based on what the recipe said the fps would be.

 

Thanks, I am fairly new to reloading.
