Accurate Arms N100 for .45 Colt loads?
« on: December 25, 2002, 05:09:06 AM »
I have an abundance of AA N100 I would like to use for .45 Colt loads with a LSWC 255gr. in the 1100 fps range.  The AA recommendation is for 5.5 gr at slightly under 900 fps, but this will be in a Encore with new brass.  Has anyone used this powder in a similar load and can give me a good starting point?

Any loads posted on the internet I would approach with great caution ,I often see ones listed that are well over maximum .
I suggest you verify all findings with a reliable source .
Metallic cartridge reloading 3rd edition list as follows
5.6 = 780
6.2 = 886
45 colt +p
7.3 = 928
8.1 = 1055 MAXIMUM LOAD
I have never shot any of these loads , And the information is worth everything you paid for it.
