I see your in easton, not far from me.
I have a chrony you could use to work up the load. from the web I'm seeing ref from 4.3gns up.
For the 185gn, I'm running 5.3 gns titegroup so 4.3 is certainly believable as a low power load

Thanks for the offer. Have 2 chrom to use. Both clubs I belong to have them to use.
I just can't believe no load listed in any manuals??
My range load for all my 45acp is 4.2 titegroup, 200 swc. Cycles my 3" 45.


Today I put together 10 rounds at 4.8 titegroup. Will shoot Tuesday.

Thanks again

I hope this has been helpful. Sorry about the data dump. As prudently suggested by "vapochilled", start at the low range and watch for signs of overpressure. Let us know how your range time goes!

And just remember that the worst day at the range is better than the best day at work....

I.m waiting to use the chrom. about a week. Thats ok with me working on load for 9mm using the Berry's plated bullets.
Test 45acp & 9mm same X.

I had to try the 4.8 T-group,45acp cycle in gun. Kimber classic SS. Perfect, 10 for 10 in the black, no problems. checked primer & spent cases. No sign of pressure problems.
