I made it through finals, cant say much for the rest of it. But after getting a few things done like fixing the car I managed to get out this afternoon. First I built a hinged chronoghraph/target comb that sits on my portable work bench, it all folds and fits in the trunk.

First it was the .45 acp, the loads you all helped me with, and bullet seating, and crimping. Thanks all for that

Bullseye, 4.7 grains is 831.9, and 860.3, for 5 grains

Some time ago I seen wear some one posted a .45+P load so I printed it out and loaded up 20 of um for testing.

The load is a 230 Sierra fmj, Hodgdon HS-6 9.2 charge at 1003 fps.
I used a Laser-cast 230 rnl with same charge, and had an average fps of 1027.9 the highest shot was 1054, and the lowest was 999.
The load says to use a heavier than normal recoil spring to prevent wear. I already have a recoil reduction system in my 1911, and found the recoil from this load to be a lot like shooting a .357. This could maybe be a really nice load with a XTP FP.

Need to go get my little guy in the shower so ill continue this later on.
