Most 45ACP's prefer FMJ's, some tolerate plated or lead stuff and even in semi wad cutters.
Usual problem is the feed ramp causing the tip of the bullet to stick slightly, causing the jam. Polishing the ramp helps but I just stick with the FMJ's.
Presently pushing a 230gr FMJ with 10.0gr of Blue Dot and getting 865fps out a 5" barrel and 980fps out of a 7" barrel in a Govt Model.
Blue Dot has been very reliable and easy to fool with, only problem is it's very dirty.
I am considering a Winchester 1892 (new model) and an EMF revolver both in 45 Colt. Already have all the components to reload them just haven't made up my mind.
Hey start a reloading thread, I'll give as much bad info as the next guy!
