My current project as well... (reply)

I've been wanting a good cast 45 ACP bullet for a long time. I ordered 500 230 TC from Penn Bullets and finally bought the 230 or 225 (?) Lee TC with the regular lube groove. I've had the TL version but wasn't real happy with it fired in my former Blackhawk. Now I'm working on a load for my Sig. I've been using 8.1 HS6 with the 230 FMJ ball loads and its a nice mild load, but I have to seat those 230 TC bullets to 2.2" to get them to chamber and that turns the heat up on that load quite a bit...still safe but I want a milder load. The problem I'm having is the first few chamber and feed great but after the first magazine or so they they don't want to fully chamber and I have to help the slide along a bit. I need to figure out what's going on there.

Looking forward to loading them (reply)

I'm planning on loading up 50 or so with some Unique, see how they shoot from the ACP cylinder of the Flattop, maybe run some through the 1911 as well.

Either of those should shoot very nicely for you
