OK i need some help I am reloading a 40 and 45 with various bullet weights and cant find alot of info for red dot and I have a jug sitting around does anyone have any loads or know where i can find them I have a few reloading books and there isnt alot in them for red dot
I have data for both. To narrow down the search, it would help to know the bullet weight and wether is jacketed or not.
These loads are straight from the Lee book 2nd edition.
45 acp 200gr
min 5.0gr @ 858 fps - max 5.2gr @ 890 fps
45 acp 230gr
min 5.0gr @ 910 fps - max 5.0gr @ 910 fps
40 cal 135 gr
min 6.2gr @1197fps - max 6.7gr @1280fps (both are compressed)
45 acp 200gr
min 5.0gr @ 858 fps - max 5.2gr @ 890 fps
45 acp 230gr
min 5.0gr @ 910 fps - max 5.0gr @ 910 fps
40 cal 135 gr
min 6.2gr @1197fps - max 6.7gr @1280fps (both are compressed)
Speer #10 only slightly different than Sabot's
45 acp 200gr jhp
5.4rg RedDot - 917
4.9gr RedDot - 834
**Note:**
As always maximum loads should be used with caution and worked up to, not started at, in properly funtioning weapons.

Sabot's got great info here.
Try to find a copy of the Alliant 2005 reloaders guide it had info on Red Dot in both 40 S&W and 45 ACP. The current Alliant website has reduced the amount of data available from previously published Alliant data.
All the data that I posted is for reddot.
