It has very potent recoil used with 230 and 250 gr bullets in 45 colt. So I'm using it mid load range. It measures well and consistently in the RCBS Uniflow small cylinder. It is supposed to minimize copper fouling, but I have yet to verify that. I've only shot a few test rounds and haven't yet cleaned the pistols. I hope to give a cardboard box some serious attention in the next few days I hope and then clean the pistols.
The bullets used: Berry's 230gr Copper Plated RN and 250gr Nosler SHG JHP (copper jacketed).

Thanks Mags. I don't really need any more powders, but, it's always good to have a back-up or two. Thanks again.

You're welcome. I also got interested in CFE Pistol as a back-up. I was running out of Universal and couldn't find it.

Hey Tom, I shot up all those 180s I had loaded up last Sun.
I need to load some more myself.
I found 25 rounds that I had loaded quite some time ago with Blue dot.
At 55 yds. they performed quite nicely and very similar to the 2400 load.
Here ya go.
