I am not the worlds great
I am not the worlds greatest shot, nor am i the worlds foremost expert on reloading. But I know my guns and can hold my own when talking about them. I loaded the 200gr .45acp FTX with 8.3, 8.5, and 8.9 grains of ramshot trueblue powder and magnum primers. all of my groups were inside a coffee cup at 25 yards and inside a dollar bill at 50 yards. The only exception was the 8.9 loads were a little harder to control and I dropped a couple outside my group at both 25 and 50 yards. 8.9 grains was a little hot and flattened the primers and left some distinct ejector marks. I am sticking with the 8.5 grain loads cause they were the best group and didn't any noticeable drop at 50 yards and were the best groups. I have shot the speer 200 grain hollow point for quite some time and the FTX are the most accurate i have ever been. my groups moved up about 2 inches at 25 yards and 3 at 50 yards over my old ammo. I shoot a Ruger P97 with stock sights.
