    load data for 255 gr xtreme bullets

    loading the 255xtreme in 45 colt using tight group at 5.9 grain. got this load from the 250 grain xtp listing it is a high medium load for that with max at 6.2. Does it sound like a safe load.

    What was the low end?
    I run Low to Mid range, and it looks like you are a bit over that possibly.
    I like Unique Powder for a little more case fill, but your load may be just fine with titegroup.

    Unique with 250gr Lead Data, and you can run pretty much full range.
    You can test the one you have listed and see what they look like.
    What gun are you shooting them in?

    Try the ones you loaded, but look into the loads with Unique possibly.
    If yours shoot good, then roll with those
