    Does anyone have load data for 250gr. RNFP using HP-38/W231?

    I’ve got a sample bag coming in from Brazos but can’t find much in the way for data. Would like to end up around 925-950 FPS out of a 5” barrel.

    There's a PDF file I once downloaded from Midway but I can't seem to find it. They had data up past 250 but I can't recall what powders we're used.

    45 ACP 260gr jhp
    start 231 5.4gr 756fps
    max 231 5.9gr 824fps

    Maybe you can extrapolate from that.

    Play that song about the Irish chiropodist. Irish chiropodist? "My Fate Is In Your Hands."

    Thanks I had a feeling the HP-38 I have on hand is too fast burning to get where I want to go. May have to try sourcing some different powder or just roll up some warmer 200 SWCs for outdoors carry.
