Ideas for cost efficient .45 ACP. These would be for future use as practice ammo for my Sig P220. I have gotten great accuracy from the p220 and 230 grain loads. I have been using Berry's plated bullets.
Bullets is normally the one place to look. Shipping lead is of course costly. When I could find them locally I could save a little. Have always just used Swagged lead when had to buy them. As with most things to save more buy more. All depends on how much you want to lay in at one time. You can save on powder buy buying larger quantity but that is such a small part of it. If you want to cast you can save more. I did for a while then gave it up. It's of course a lot of work to save but it can save.Ideas for cost efficient .45 ACP.

230gr Xtreme box of 500 or 1000. Wait for the free shipping days.
2.8grs of TiteWad (not TiteGroup) Hogdon has data on this powder puff load. And cans of TiteWad can be found for very low $. I bought a 1lb can one time for $12 because my LGS had not been able to sell it.
Requires a lighter recoil spring because it's pretty low fps, even for .45ACP. Something like 760fps, but I forget. Be sure to stand close to the target, you get some fair amount of drop at 25yds. It's pretty funny when a load won't even break a 2x4!!
Way back then, 500 200gr lswc cost a whopping $15.00 through the Ft. Benning Rifle and Pistol Club...
2000/2001... Tried looking up the company that was supplying them, but sadly they don't seem to be in business any longer. Nice high quality, hard cast bullets.Wow!!! When was this... 1922?
