reloading spec's for the 45 acp

[BuckBow]

I know that different components ie; bullet, powder, and primer can differ on the set up. I use the federal 150 primer standard case Win 231 powder, and a 230 gr lrn. However I can not find a min to max load that is the same. Some will tell me that the max load is 6.1 and a different sorce will tell me that the max load is 5.1. This is a huge difference in powder weight for the max. I also don't really want to reach the min so doe's anyone have a sorce with the components that I have listed.

Thank you
Garry

Garry,
I don't know much about reloading, but what I do know is that you start at a low charge and work up. I also know it's a good idea to look at several manuals, including the data provided by the powder manufacturer. On this page www.wwpowder.com/data/handgun/45acp.php
Winchester recommends, using a 230gr LRN and W231, a starting charge of 4.3 grains and a max charge of 5.3 grains.
