I've got a bunch of lead 230gr rn 45ACP bullets from a while back. I never had the foresight to stock up on powder for reloading them. Now that my FMJ & HP supply is getting low, I'm thinking about using the lead for my practice around the house.
I've found a couple of sites that say HP38 & W231 are the same. If that's the case, my problem is soved. Does anyone out there know if this is true?

Never mind, got on hogdon .com & answered my own question. #) $$-0

Yup, same stuff, different label. For my 45 230 LRN's I've been stuffing them on top of 4.6gr of Win 231 with a COAL of 1.250". They're just peachy. Group between 1.50 & 1.75 @ 25ft w/ SA 1911-A1. Haven't tried them in the Para yet.
What's really cool is that I found that I can use the same 4.6gr charge for 9mm 115gr RNDS Berry's heads. Sure is nice not to have to recal the powder measure between calibers! O0
