.45 ACP practice load


cypher

Recommended Posts

230gr Bayou RN
1.265 oal
5.4gr CFE Pistol
692 fps average

PF 159

Feels pretty soft. Functions with 16# recoil springs in my 5" 1911s.

This load is my latest and I haven't shot it in a match yet. But it should work well for every match I shoot except for USPSA if I want to make major PF.

I have to laugh... I just looked at this today and did not realize I commented on it 13 years ago :) With that said..... Practice with what you play with ...

If you decide you are going to try something different... like shooting steel... then work up some steel loads :) Lite bullets .. fast powder...lite springs,.,,,, and use a chrono :)
