Well that's reassuring.
I have been loading a slew of Lyman 452488's... 200-grain SWCs... over 9.0 grains of Blue Dot for use in my M25-5 resolver. Now that I see you're shooting 230s over 10.5 grains in your semi-auto, I'm reassured that I'm not likely to blow myself up with those loads any time soon.

BTW, the 452488 seems to work quite nicely in the Smith 25-5, with the caveat that they don't want to chamber cleanly unless I've run them through my .45 Auto Rim roll crimp die. Of course, that seems to be a requirement for all my cast .45 loads.
