45 90 & OE 1.5

[Eric Johanen]

I did make some changes to the previous load. 83.5 grains instead of 81 grains of OE 1.5. CCI BR primer substituted for the Federal match pistol primer with the under primer card. With this batch of bullets I used a certified 16-1 alloy and they came into the same weight range as my mixed alloy but just a whisker larger on the .450 chamber alignment band so I had to seat to the bottom of the first band rather than leaving the top grease groove exposed. Still as cast and pan lubed with DGL. I think there was a slight improvement in group size and will use this again. A bit more powder and a little more compression so these are getting moving a little faster. I'll shoot this load again to verify. Not too bad for the range conditions!
