I cast a bunch of 260 gr hollow point bullets for my 45 Colt then thought "Why not?" So I sized to 252 and made up a dummy round. Feeds like a dream. Now I am looking for starting load data. Don't want to go crazy but I am thinking this bullet would really beat up a bowling pin.
Would like to USA AA 2, 5, or 7. Any ideas?

Respectfully, You mean .452, Scott?
I think those would KICK ASS on some unsuspecting bowling pins.
Love the pics of your powder-coated bullets you make for your son on FB, BTW.

You can look at 45 Auto Rim loads. For some reason heavier bullets are listed there, but not under 45 ACP. Just don't get into any of the +P loadings that seem fashionable nowdays.
