[QUOTE="Hickory260, post: 3156789, member: 43989"] Bullseye is the classic powder for the Old .45. As I understand it, Bullseye was developed in 1913 and the powder used in the 1911 when our Doughboys "went over the top" during WWI. My favorite load is 4.3 grains of Bullseye behind an Oregon Trail Laser-Cast 230grn round nose (Laser-Cast contains a bit of silver, so they're good for werewolves. Probably vampires and zombies, too, I suspect). Turns out about 830 on my Chrony, so close to standard factory loading but a little light to keep wear on my 1911A1 Mark IV Series '70 down. I use regular CCI large pistol primers. Probably no need for a magnum primer in a case as small and loaded with faster powders like those used in the .45 ACP. [/QUOTE]
