.45 ACP Powder

[JD338]

I am currently using Clays Universal with W-W 230 gr FMJ in my Kimber Tactical Pro II but I think I am going to give W231 a try.

I guess I'm the oddball in the group. I use Accurate Arms #5. Mainly because for 380, 9mm, 40, 45acp, 38, mild 357, 45 colt I can use one powder. With it and Win 296 I can load pretty much anything handgun related. I'm sure there's a few other powders out there that are as versatile but I settled on AA#5.

I use almost nothing but AA#5 and #7 in all my 45 caliber rounds. I also use AA#9 in my 44 mags and some 45LC loads. Burns very clean unlike some others mentioned, and shot to shot seems very consistent. Meters extremely well (+/- one tenth of a grain or better).

4 grains of Clays, 230 bullet of your choice, primer of your choice, power factor= 167,000 out of 5" barrel.

This. Shot Single Stack Nationals with this load.
WST is second choice.

WIN 231 or the Hodgdon HP 38 which is a about 2.00 a lb cheaper. It's the same powder.
I also like WST

I actually run Enforcer with my 230 gr FMJ/HP it used to be a listed load by Ramshot, the start load was giving me 950 fps avg with a 230 from a 1911 GM.

When I run out of that particular lot, I have some longshot to work with.

I have used HP38 and liked it as well as BlueDot.

I use 231 in 45acp, 45colt. works well, accurate enough for my purposes and meters very well. I like being able to just go through a whole 100rd tray with the meter and not really have to check the throw because it meters so well.

Hodgdon Clays 3.5 grains 230gr Missouri SoftBall Bullet lead round nose, but I am fixing to switch to their Hi-Tek 2-Extreme Coating 230gr Softball.

AA#5 and Unique is all I've used........but with the powder shortage I ended up with 8lbs of WSF and 5lbs of Power Pistol, so it looks like I'll be using those for awhile.
