Powder for .45 ACP

[glockem]

Hey all,
I haven't purchased powder in a few years. I've been running Vitavouri N310 at 3.7 grs with 200g SWC and was wondering what others are using today. I searched the forum, but I did not find recs for .45. I'd like something cleaner burning. Any thought?

Thanks,
Tex

I have had good luck with 4.5 g 700X with a 230 g bullet. 4.2 with 200g. Easy on the gun/ shooter

i have used win. 231 5- 5.7 grs. behind a hard cast 200 gr. swc. been shooting them for about 20 years very nice load.

In order of use:
Unique(only because I have Lbs of it)
WST
W231

Winchester WST. It meters well and burns clean.

All I use 45 (and 9mm) is titegroup. Not sure you can get a better powder than Vitavouri, but titegroup is good enough and has a very attractive price.

I have used WW231 successfully for many years...

Another vote for W231. I use 5.5 grs. under a 230 gr. bullet in Winchester brass.

I have had good results using 200gr and 230gr bullets in 45ACP with 231, Bullseye, VV320, Green Dot, Red Dot and Titegroup. Any of these powders (except VV320) can be a bit dirty if the loads are too light. Many people like Clays for light loads but I haven't tried it myself.

Right now I am using 231 for most of my 45 loads. I load to factory spec velocities and 231 has been consistent and clean at those pressures.

I like Hodgdon Universal; And with all the warnings about working your own load I been pleased with 5.4g under a 230g bullet.
