[mm27]

I want to load some laser cast 200gr swc they are .452 in dia.
My Hodgdon manual has no recipe for .452 200gr swc only for .451 Tite group powder is what I will be puttin under them.
Called laser cast to day but load master wont be back till Fri.
Hodgdon Web site has no recipe for a .452 200gr swc over titegroup either.
I have been loading 45acp & 45 L.C. for only a short time neary 2000 rnds all go bang except for some of those famous Win lp primers I had.
I always follow recipe my Speer manual had no help either. Now I ask , what are your thought? Thanks Mark .Sorry ment to post in reloading sec.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most cast bullets 1 or 2 thou larger than their jacketed counterparts? I think the load books take this into account.
