Load question for bayou bullet 45 acp

[Joshlala]

I picked up some 230 gr RN 45 acp bayou bullets today and I was wondering if anyone could give me some load info on these. I planned on using IMR 700x with CCI large pistol primers.
Thanks!

i use 4.5 gr of 700x. but m bout to switch because i find its really dirty.

What OAL do you use?

i would seat it so that a little of the bump is left out of the case. by bump i mean the shoulder or the bullet where it starts to taper down to the point. i left about 1/16-1/8 of an inch out the case. final product looked like this, just with Donnie's bullets:

700X has been an excellent powder for .45ACP since it first came out.

Did you try any loads out yet? I plan on picking some up tomorrow I try out. I was going to start with some Winchester 231 powder and the cci primers.

I like 231, Clays, and WST with 230 gr Bayou Bullets.
