The bullets are Berry's plated. I'm using Vihtavuori N330 powder, 10.4 grains, 1093 fps. This is the recommended starting load on the above web site.
The web site does not differentiate between hollow base and standard, but since it is a starting load, it should be ok?
The gun is a modern Ruger Redhawk 45 Colt/45 ACP.
I'm asking because in my Lyman loading book it gives bullet diameter as .456 inch in the cross section. But next to that says cast bullets are .452 inch. And in the loading tables for commercial bullets it's .4515 inch or .451 inch. Hornady is .452.
No mention of hollow base in this manual.
