Re: Which powder for .45acp?

I use Unique and have used most of the ones mentioned above from time to time. I am experimenting with IMR Trail Boss in .38 Special and .45 ACP in both cartrages 4.5 gr seems to work well. I use a 125 gr cast bullet in .38 and a 230gr Ranier round nose in .45. I got the load dats from Hodgdon's website. Both loads are soft shooting and make IDPA power factor in my guns. It meters like water, it's impossible to double charge, it's very bulky. Hdgdon says you can/t put enough Trail Boss into a pistol case to cause a Kboom unless you have compressed the charge. (Fill the case then seat the bullet)

Try it you may like it.
