Dear 1911 Lovers,
I'm about to load some 200 gr XTPs using Power Pistol. I'd like to do a max load without going +P. What charge do you use, and what COL?
Thanks,
LBS

I'm not sure where all the money is that I've "saved" by casting and reloading!
The following was copied from Allient's reloading guide....according to them 8.3 grains for a Speer GDHP is their recommended load for PowerPistol...I believe that this load will be totally safe because I shoot 10 grains of PowerPistol in my .45 Super with a 200 grain cast bullet with no problems...
