Duplicating hornandy xtp 230 gr .45 ACP+p
My manuals, including hornandy, do not appear to have data for+p loadings. I shot 10 year old factory ammo of this same ammo and I felt like I was shooting a .44 magnum in a 1911. I'd love to duplicate it. I can get the bullet, I have the spent casings. But no loading data

Call Horndy, I'm not sure that they'll give you the info but its worth a shot. They are a reloading company after all.Doug.38PR wrote:My manuals, including hornandy, do not appear to have data for+p loadings.

.38 spl+p is listed in the reloading manuals. Why not .45 ACP+p?AndyC wrote:With the potential liability around +p loads, I'm not surprised.
Why not simply start with a known safe, reliable load for that bullet and start working your way up to it until you get to where you want? That's one reason we reload, right?
I'm doing exactly what you're suggesting. But I fear unique and even power pistol will not get me to the above said factory +p even with the maximum .45 ACP manual load

Could it have anything to do with .45 ACP not being fully supported?
