I was hoping for SOME results but almost zero results was really disappointing. I was hoping that I could get expansion similar to the way a .45 acp acts at around 830 fps. It quickly became obvious I was going to need some more velocity. I had loads for Power Pistol and Unique which gave the best velocities but didn't have any idea what the max load was. I inquired some manufacturers and was told they didn't even test those bullets. Having such disappointing results I didn't think it worthwhile to delve into the unknown. I may revisit this but I'm letting it stew on the back burner for a while. Maybe I'll get some inspiration.
