[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3136380, member: 3099"] I personally like Bayou, BBI, or ACME, coated lead hardcast bullets due to them being cleaner to load and shoot and smoking a ton less than lead. I'm playing with BE86 powder and so far it's great. It's a lot like Unique in that it may be the only pistol powder one ever needs only a lot cleaner burning. WST is my fallback and is one of the all time best in .45ACP probably second only to Bullseye for accuracy. You don't need magnum primers in .45ACP and Winchester are just fine. If you go with lead or coated make sure they are sized .452 as lead needs to be at least .001" bigger than jacketed. I would avoid all plated bullets unless from Rocky Mountain Reloading, they are plated really thick and I hear they work very well. All the others I've given up on. They are just too finicky to load and most don't shoot near as good as coated or plain lead. [/QUOTE]
