Starting to reload 45 ACP

[psteinmayer]

For me, cost is ALWAYS a factor, which is why I purchased the Berry's. In my Taurus .45 Millennium Pro, they perform just fine and dandy. I don't do a lot of high volume shooting... just some random plinking and practicing, so it's really not a problem. As I said before, I load to the same data as jacketed, and I've had no indications of trouble. Parashooter's data is always pretty convincing too!

Berry's recommends using lead bullet loading data, & I do anyway for .45 ACP target ammo. OTOH, I load hotter .357 mag ammo specifically for rifle (too hot for revolver) & have never had any problems with the Berry's bullets fouling the barrel or becoming unstable out to over 100 yards.

The venison in the freezer couldn't tell any difference between plated or jacketed 158 gr bullets, either.
