Something wrong with BE for this bullet? |
Not at all, BE is fine under the XTP. There are something like 20 powders that will happily run a 230grJHP in the 45acp & BE is like 1000yrs old, it's why Jack still uses it. You obviously need another manual, everyone should have at least 2. You can go to the Alliant site for data as well. I am not a fan of starting data, but just up from average starting should run any 45acp. When you are done playing w/ BE, go try some WST.
