Dear rec.guns readers:
 
I apologize for my previous post of loads for my .45 ACP;
my memory is worse than I thought, and I had the wrong
bullet listed in my posting!  (There is no Hornady 185 gr.
LSWC . . .  OOPS!)
 
You know what they say, the two signs of old age are
FIRST you start losing your memory, and SECOND, uh, um,
I can't remember.		;-)
 
Here's a poor load for the SIG P-220:
 
	185 gr. Hornady JHP/XTP
	5.4 gr. Bullseye
	CCI 300  WWC case
	OAL = 1.230 in.
 
This is the load the range officer fired without problem
in his .45 GLOCK.
 
The worst load of all those I tried is this one:
 
	200 gr. Hornady LSWC (#4526)
	5.8 gr. Unique
	CCI 300  WWC case
	OAL = 1.235 in.
 
Jammed on almost every round out of 10; slide didn't lock back
on last round.  Last night I used the Midway impact bullet
puller to help me replace the powder in the remaining 40 rounds
with 5.1 gr. of HP-38.

Here's one GOOD LOAD for the SIG P-220:
 
	200 gr. Speer JHP ("flying ashtray")
	5.5 gr. Bullseye
	CCI 300  WWC case
	OAL = 1.176 in.
 
This one produced a couple of 2.5 inch 5-shot group at 50 yards.  
As always, you reloaders out there should always consult an 
"official" reloading manual before trying any of these loads.
 
Regards,
