If you could, please see if you still have the box for that ammo: I'm interested in what fps they claimed when they marketed it as a Deep Curl factory hunting round?
The current Speer 45 Colt 250gr GDHP amo is listed at 750 fps. Alliant load data shows 7.8gr Unique at 840 fps for this bullet in 45 Colt.
Getting 800 fps in 45 AutoRim using the ACCURATE #5 load data for 250gr plated bullets seems safely obtainable.
