    My new favorite load

    Just tried a new load in my FNP-45 this weekend.

    Federal 150 primer
    3.6gn Hodgdon Clays
    230gr Berrys Plated RN

    LOVED IT!!!! Recoil was even lighter than normal and got me back on target faster than I ever have been.

    Just wanted to share

    Thanks for that update. Keep us posted.


    A pure democracy operates by direct majority vote of the people. When an issue is to be decided, the entire population votes on it; the majority wins and rules. A republic differs in that the general population elects representatives who then pass laws to govern the nation.

    Hyperdog-
    Are you still having good luck with this reload? I have loaded the same round (Federal brass, Hodgon Clays and Berry's 230 gr RN) and it will not cycle my FNP Tac?!? The same load works fine in a single stack .45 but the Tactical rarely ejects successfully. At this point I have 1060 rds of factory rounds without any issues until trying the reloads. I just bumped up to 4 gr (max recommended) but have not gotten to the range yet.

    I only made 100 of those and had no issues. Lately I've been trying to shoot off my other loads to "get rid of them". I just have a regular FNP-45, not the Tactical. Brass I use is mostly mixed, more so Winchester. I've got about 1500 rounds through mine. Don't know what else to tell ya?
