Well sir, looks like you have work to do! I have been using up the last of my SWCs and am looking hard at ordering the MBW 230gr you had in your article. Was hoping you had developed more along the lines of using those 230 grainers. That article you had was quite interesting....Quote:

I shot through a few boxes a few years ago. Checking for a link with the sku and I see they may offer a round nose also.
Thanks for that JHC! Still, wanna see what 5Pins comes up with using the MBW 230gr... that meplat is phat! I am also going to order the 255gr SWC 03RN is monkeying with in his thread .452 hardcast for 1911s https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....cast-for-1911sQuote:

All worked well for my purposes at the time. Now I have a 625JM to feed in addition to my DW Specialist and Sig 1911s..... so reanalyzing best loads for woods carry since hunting season is nearly here!
I could swear the Lawman .45 I bought had the "truncated" flat point form factor vs the round shoulder flat point which appears pictured but it's been a few years.Quote:

Only CCI magnum primers would achieve that velocity, Federal, Winchester, and Remington would not. I also got 1148fps using a Hornady 200gr FMJFP using that powder. Ramshot has since removed that powder from the .45ACP data.Quote:

No doubt they are approx 35% more than the Matts 250gr Short Nose Keiths I was using but they look to be what the doctor ordered!Quote:

03RN, did you ever get the chrono results on your 255SWC/6.0 Unique loads?
