I have an IPSC comp coming up in a few weeks and needed to build up my ammo for it. Yesterday I ran 200 primed 45 ACP cases through my press using 5.7 gn Tightgroup under a 200 gn plated flat point bullet. Today I barrel dropped them all in the barrel of my Springfield 1911 A1 then counted up the .45 ACP rounds I had left after my last competition. I was 34 short of 500 rounds so I primed and loaded another 34 resized cases I had in a container under my bench.

I still have a couple of hundred practice rounds using both my competition load and my practice load (5.4 gn Win 231 under 230 gn LRN) to shoot off in the next 10 days to prepare for the upcoming comp.
