I put together 100 45Colts using Hornady 250grain XTPs that I found at BiMart yesterday Almost intoxicating building such expensive(in factory form) loads like these! I also managed to sort out the 45ACP brass from the 9mm from the last range trip. Hoping to reload the 9mm soon.
That's a good term, "Intoxicating"! I 'spose I still get that feeling when I load anything! Even 9mm, considering you're not going to be stopping to get some 9mm at BiMart on the way to the range!
when I started reloading everyone told me that 9mm wasn't worth it. When I started doing them I was maybe saving 2 cents. Then once I started buying in bulk I was loading them at half the price. Well now I have plenty of 9mm and can load plenty more and it cost half ofwhat Pre pandemic prices cost.
I have pretty much switched from power pistol to be-86 because of the flash. Some say it is the same as pp with flash suppressant added. I can't confirm that but burn rate/performance is very similar to pp minus the flash. Probably doesn't help much with current shortages but keep an eye out and maybe you can score some.Couple of more loads to try in the new Glock to see if I can get it to acceptable accuracy levels. Don't really like Blue Dot and Power Pistol, since they seem quite flashy have more recoil than they should, but the couple of loads I used them for in .40 S&W and 10mm, they were very accurate. So held my nose and worked up a couple of loads for the Glock using 7.0 grains of Power Pistol and 8.5 grains of Blue Dot behind 180gr bullets. Have to wait until next week to see if they work.

Nothing some good trim won't cure.And lengthens.
I love those XTP's, I have loaded them with Unique as well. I have also loaded some with H110 but just gotta make sure to use those in a Ruger.$150 worth of ammo. or, 50 .45 Colt loads using 250 grain XTPs and 10.5 grains of Unique. This is now my primary load for my Ruger Bisley and Henry rifle. Need to find more of the XTPs as I am down to 200 of them and a pound of Unique.

Someone has an ad on the classifieds for some 300gr 45 XTPs. Price seems high to me, but I think I'm out of touch on such things lately. Thought I'd mention it in case you like heavy bullets.$150 worth of ammo. or, 50 .45 Colt loads using 250 grain XTPs and 10.5 grains of Unique. This is now my primary load for my Ruger Bisley and Henry rifle. Need to find more of the XTPs as I am down to 200 of them and a pound of Unique.
