270Man,

The .45ACP is capable of fine accuracy with a good barrel, a good load, a good bushing and a shooter with very good techniques. I confirmed my handloads with a Ranson Rest and got 2" or less at 25 yards with the Lyman #452460 200 grain SWC cast bullet and 5.0 grains of 700X or 5.0 grains of Red Dot. Any of my .45 autos will do 2 inches at 25 yards from the bench with these loads.

Like Dan said, shoot lots and then shoot the .45 some more.

Adam
