45 ACP 185 Grain Loads / CFE Pistol and Green Dot / FNX 45

Running some 185 grain .45 ACP loads through my FN FNX 45. These rounds were expected to be hotter (CFE) then I ended up getting - pretty strange to me... Tried the Berry's Hollow Base Round Nose bullets (HBRN), seated to 230 grain depth. No idea why they were that slow.

The Green Dot was awesome, and I believe the CFE will be if I load them a bit hotter...

Next up - JHPs in 185, will start those at 8.1 grains CFE and might try some TiteGroup.

Thanks for watching, and as always, I am not doing this so you can replicate, just doing this to show you what I’ve done. Work up your own loads at your own pace and be safe!
