JRN ( WC= Wad Cutter, SWC= Semi- Wad Cutter, HP= Hollow Point, RN= Round Nose SP= Soft Point ( JHP= Jacketed Hollow Point and if GC indicated, means Gas Check at bottom of lead bullet) Loads for.45 ACP: Photo from Mark Curtis New 2012 note on.45 ACP cases using small pistol primers vs. the large pistol primers. Not long ago shooters began to report brass that had a small pistol primer pocket instead of the traditional large, due to the use of a more green environment primer. More and more range ammo is being sold with the less air polluting primers fitting cases with small pockets. The DANGER here is mixing up a batch of used cases and trying to seat a large primer in a small pocket. Most likely if you use a fair amount of force on the press, it will explode as it is being crushed from not fitting in the small pocket. Loads are generally the same and no documentation has been presented saying anything but if changing from tested maximum loads with one type, back off a bit before using the opposite primer. ( Note: These are near MAXIMUM loads, you should use 10% less to start.) ( See note on Powders below or read all about various Powders. See note on NEW Nitro 100 powder at bottom of page) Bullet sizes vary from.451 for jacketed to.452 for some lead in diameter. Due to different barrel lengths, type of bullet, seating depth, primer type and other factors, you may not get near the FPS charted. It is just a guide and the reason you should start under these charges and work up. ACP is an acronym that stands for Automatic Cartridge Colt) Pistol. It was used by various John Browning cartridge designs primarily used in Colt and FN pistols. ( Note H110 & W296 are the same as of 2008 as is HP-38 & W231) ( IMR 4227 is same as H-4227 if made in Australia).
