The .45 is different.

The problem I find with PP in .45 is you can load it HOT, the gun will handle it, but for how long????

I'll only reference you some reading.....

The M1911 Pistols Organization Forums Site - Hornaday 230g TAP .45

The M1911 Pistols Organization Forums Site - Power Pistol and .45ACP

Theres some much better threads in here The loads in the previous threads I know to be good data.
"7.5 Power Pistol Hornady 230 XTP 980 fps four inch barrel (Wow)"

Thanks for the links and advice. In 380, I am shooting an LCP, or PPK, so I keep them no hotter than warm....

On the other hand, the 45 is out of either a 1911, or a 4566, so I am pretty excited about the performance that I have to look forward to. According to my book, 230 grains at 980 FPS should put muzzle energy just a hair under 500 ft-lbs.
