[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2872078, member: 15054"] I shoot that same TL 200 grain in my two 45acp and have shot it in 4 others as well. I load for my gun 4.0-4.1gr Bullseye I have loaded much more and even used it in my 45 colt. Now the 45 acp is a low pressure round and i have seated long into the lands by .020" and have set it very deep into the case where no band is showing. It did not make any difference for me as far as cycling.. they all cycled in my gun . But my best accuracy was when i set them to 1.200 to 1.215" You can play with speeding them up in the 45acp and when you get to the overlimit on speed they will tumble. They will hit the paper target sideways even at 10 paces or less they are tumbling when sent too fast. Back off the powder and keep them going straight. At 4.1gr BE i have shot them 200 yards and they are still going straight. My gun barrel slugs fat .4535" so i can't go too fast with them. like others stated they need to cycle reliably.. move the aol around to find a sweet accuracy spot.. you ain't going to hurt it with those low loads. I have another lee bullet that works well at long distances. I use it in my 45acp. it is the 452 -255gr round nose flat point bullet. I also use 4.0-4.1 BE in that load.
