Prior to the range, today, I picked up some
.45 ACP Blazer brass case 230 gr. FMJ as well as some Remington 185 gr. TC-FMJ is what the bullet is shaped like full metal case with a flat point - anybody know what velocity is
claimed for this Rem. load? It was accurate, and fed 100% in my SW1911.

Click on the link Remington Ammunition Ballistics and look it up.

Factory ballistic tables are going to be close to what you get if firing out of a Service Pistol but every gun will shoot slightly different velocities, even if the same make and barrel length with the same ammo.

The TC stands for truncated cone. It was target ammo not manufactured by Remington any more, but it was nice stuff. Very accurate. It ran, if I recall correctly, somewhat slower (in the ~800 fps range), than the common Rem. JHPs intended for self defense at ~ 1000fps. Please pass to Randall M over on the 1911 forum.
