Dantankerous Posted Saturday at 10:47 PM Posted Saturday at 10:47 PM I'm looking at getting back into competing in WB soon and my current stash of WB legal 45 acp is dwindling. I've always used factory ammo and probably always will 'cause as I don't want to get into reloading for something I don't shoot often so I'm fine with purchasing some factory ammo. I have always shot 230 grain Ultramax lead and Herters 230 grain Nylon Jacket. Neither of these are available any longer. An internet search turned up Federal and American Eagle Syntech ammo. Looks like a fancier version of the previously mentioned nylon jacket lead bullets. Anyone have any experience with either of these latter mentioned? I presume still WB legal? Thanks! Quote

Garrison Joe Posted Sunday at 02:02 AM Posted Sunday at 02:02 AM Scarlett's ammo will be a lot softer shooting (lower velocity) than the "big factory" 230 grain ammo. I'd try her .45 auto ammo! good luck, GJ 2 Quote

El Chapo Posted yesterday at 05:42 AM Posted yesterday at 05:42 AM The federal ammo in question is just powdercoat like I do at home (from what I've seen at matches) and will be fine for WBAS. 1 Quote
