I have just started reloading and my first attempt has been with
45 ACP. I have read all the books and watched all the videos.
I made my first batch and they all stove piped. All my recipes are
From the hoddgdon website.
Recipe 1:
200 grain .451 cast SWC Bullet
WSF powder low=6.0 grains High=6.7
COL = 1.225
Primer= CCI
Made on a lyman turret press with hornady 45 acp dies
Mild taper applied with a taper die
I made 5 at 6.2 grains, 5 at 6.4 grains, and 5 at 6.6 grains
All of them resulted in a critical failure, stove pipe.
I changed to a new recipe due to the failure
Recipe 2
200 grain .451 cast SWC Bullet
WST powder low=4.4 grains High=5.1
COL = 1.225
Primer= CCI
I made 5 rounds at 5.0 grains and shot them today.
Again I had a critical failure, stove pipe.
I am shooting them in a Springfield XD 45 tactical semi auto pistol
Can someone please tell me what my dumbass is doing wrong.
