45 ACP NEW INDUSTRY STANDARDS

[swageking]

Has anyone used the new 300 grain 45 ACP rounds from Buchanan Ammunition?
They have a new round thats 820 fps with a 300 grain bullet at a +P load that pressures at 19,600 psi.
Thanks for any feedback.

Whoa! That stuff is pretty pricey.
There's plenty of good ammo out there for a lot less money.

YIKES! I agree. I thought ammo for my 460S&W was high.
Buchanan must be very proud of their ammo!!
I do note that there are some very interesting combos they offer.

Thanks for the link, but I'll continue to roll my own.

I don't see anything that qualifies as a "new industry standard." I've also not seen any test data on any of their ammo. Based on the website's chart, the 300 grain bullets in .45ACP all go 625 fps, not 825. The 260 grainers go 825. I'd be careful firing those 300 gr. bullets out of an automatic, unless it's been set up by someone very knowledgeable. Personally, if I wanted to shoot 300 gr. bullets in .45ACP, I'd use a 625, but most likely I'd cave and use a .45 Colt as my chambering instead.
