The PDF contained velocity readings of from just under to just over 1,000fps. I don't think the govt was loading any ammo that fast at that time. The .45 gvt was a 230gr over 28gr black for approx 830fps. The 1909 was a 250gr loaded with 8.4gr RSQ for approx 750fps. I am very interested in this topic, and hope more info is forthcoming. Does anyone know the dimensions of this cartridge?
