Alternative powders for Hornady XTP for 45 Colt.
Re: Alternative powders for Hornady XTP for 45 Colt.
I too use the 230gr ACP bullet in 45 Colt reloads. 8.2gr Universal was comfortable shooting. I also tied 9.0gr Universal. That was rough on the hand.

That's some mighty good shooting from that X/suppresed .45 Colt forty.

Re: Alternative powders for Hornady XTP for 45 Colt.
I've used True Blue in several different calibers. My Henry .327 Fed Mag really loves it. I've also loaded .44 mag with it as well. It doesn't shoot quite as well in my Marlin as it does in the .327 but it ain't bad either. H110 and 2400 seem to do a bit better. 4227 comes close and really performs well when shooting .44 special. My .44 mag True Blue load is 12.4 gr of powder using a 240 gr Nosler bullet using a CCI 350 primer. I use IMR 4227 in my .45 Colt load with 225 gr XTP and HP-38 with the 250 gr XTP.
