W231

[bald1]

oopie,

I've used W231 with 200gr H&G #68 LSWC loads for decades (6.0gr 1.250 OAL). Recently I've gone with ZIP which is basically the same as W231. Did this when W231 was out of stock.

I have shot 230 FMJ with 5.1 gr. W231 at 1.260 OAL.

I honestly don't shoot a lot of .45 ACP. I look at several sources for loads, but I will often try the loads on this guys pages providing they check out.

I also use Winchester 231 with Winchester primers and Rainier 230 grain FMJ. Right at 5 grains and 1.260 OAL!!

W231 and HP 38 are the same powder.

I use HP-38(WW231) with 230 grain bullets, 5.2 grains, at 1.265"

Thanks for the suggestions..... I've been using 5.3 gr at an OAL of 1.260. I'm thinking I should back it down a notch......I really need to get a chronograph.

My load has an ave.velocity of 835FPS at ten feet from the muzzle through my Prochrono.
