so I am getting back into 45 auto after a little over 12yrs. I have a lot more powder options at my disposal than I did then.
AA #7
CFE Pistol
HP-38
Power Pistol
Clays
Not sure exactly where I want to start. Will be using 230g berry's plated for practice ammo. I am toying with the idea of loading each of them up and shooting start to max. Ensure function, get a very rough idea on velocity, and get a feel for the recoil of the powders in comparison to each other.
Or should I just pick a powder and go with it since I don't really have any velocity based performance goals in mind just to get me something to practice with.
On a side note, the gun is a 3rd gen G30, which has a 3.77in barrel, a bit on the short side for 45, so I am anticipating some velocity loss.
Compiled a powder matrix with what I have for comparison
