.45 ACP
Accurate #5 Powder
X-treme 230 .451 bullets
CCI Small Primer
Blazer Brass Casings
Western Powder & others provide a COL of 1.237.
SAAMI provides the minimum of 1.190 and a maximum of 1.275.
1) How should I read the 1.237 they provide, as the minimum or maximum?
2) Since the SAAMI range is so vast should I presume that it's safe as long as they fall within that range?
3) The X-Treme bullets are copper plated RN. There is never any mention of this manufactures bullets in various powder manuals. Is there a type that matches/comparable (ie. FMJ)?
Any input on a good loaded length range for 45 ACP is appreciated.
note: The factory Blazer Brass bullets have a COL of 1.264
Also: I accidentally posted this same question in the wrong forum so sorry for the duplicate.
