AR 45 ACP load info?
- Thread starter DDRanch
- Start date
Most actions are straight blow back, no delay. I would load 1 round with the 10" bbl @ Hodgdon 4.4 starting load.
Work up from there.
Make sure the starting load allows the bullet to exit the 16" bbl muzzle.
Hodgdon 4.8 seems to be a maximum loading? 4/10 gr from start to max, doesnt leave much to play with.

The Thompson, and M3 “Grease Gun” SMG’s of WWII had longer bbls firing the standard 230 gr Ball & Tracer rounds of the era; you should be good to fire the loads as listed in manuals and Hodgdon’s Handloading data site.
As 243Winxb states, working up is always wise and prudent when working with anything new.
Love my 9MM Carbines, especially with suppressors; but none in .45 ACP (yet)
