LSWC
LFP	9.7 gr	AA#5	994 fps	1.205"	Win LP	guest
LFP	Bullet is the Ranier Copper plated 185gr FP. Accuracy was excellent for a practice IDPA round. 100% reliable in unmodified Springfield Armory 1911. Recoil was brisk without being punishing. Email author: kormedic01 See all of kormedic01's loads
JHP	13.5 gr	BlueDot	Unknown	n/a"	CCI LP	guest
JHP	Hot and accurate in my Colt Combat commander. Email author: mistercurtis See all of mistercurtis's loads
JHP	6.7 gr	Bullseye	995 fps	1.275"	Fed 150	Alliant
JHP	Suggested starting load: 6.0 gr Pressure: 19,400
JHP	6.2 gr	bullseye	Unknown	1.275"	CCI LP	guest
JHP	This is the most accurate load I’ve found in my custom colt. I use with hornady xtp and suggest starting at 5.9grs.
LFP	6.0 gr	Bullseye	Unknown		CCI SP	guest
LFP	This is a moderately hot but VERY accurate load in a Ruger P90. The bullet is copper plated not lead but about the same hardness. Suggested starting load is 5.0 grains of Bullseye with Federal case. DO NOT substitute other components or primers/bullets/powders!! Seated so the shoulder just shows with a moderate taper-crimp. 1" groups at 50 feet bench rest Email author: kirbydoc See all of kirbydoc's loads
TMJ	6.0 gr	Bullseye	Unknown		CCI LP	guest
TMJ	This is an extremely accurate loading. I used Berry’s preferred PLATED bullets not jacketed with a moderately gentle taper-crimp. Ragged 3/4" hole at 25 feet 2-handed braced. A little hot if you are in timed or rapid-fire competition, you might need practice to re-acquire target. Email author: kirbydoc See all of kirbydoc's loads
JHP	5.0 gr	Bullseye	Unknown	1.200"	Fed LP	guest
JHP	Low recoil target load
LSWC	4.5 gr	Bullseye	Unknown	1.230"	Win LP	guest
LSWC	Using a long nose H&G profile LSWC, will feed reliably from 1.230" to 1.265" OAL in my Springfield 1911. Fine tune OAL to fine tune accuracy. Burns fairly clean, gun functions fine w/ standard recoil spring and is a great practice round. Email author: daleswanson2 See all of daleswanson2's loads

JFP	Suggested starting load: 4.4 gr Pressure: 17,400 CUP
LSWC	3.8 gr	CLAYS	700 fps	1.260"	CCI LP	guest
LSWC	Very mild recoil, 2" group @ 15 yds. Requires use of 12 lb. recoil spring in my Springfield 1911A1 for reliable cycling.
XTP	3.8 gr	Clays	955 fps	1.230"	Fed LP	guest
XTP	Very clean, low smoke and recoil. Accurate in my HK 45F and Colt CCO. Email author: shtrbug See all of shtrbug's loads

LSWC	5.1 gr	HP-38	Unknown		Win SR	guest
LSWC	I lack felociy & such. Just that I use it indoors with good results, but good results with same bullet only 4.8 gr Green Dot. Same bullet though 5.2 gr of Unique. Planning on old Winchester 452AA which I use with cast 162 gr swc only to be used with the above bullet tip.
