I have 2 requirements.
Be heavy as possible.
Still fit in a 1911 mag.
Would like the carbine rounds to still be usable in the 1911.
I loaded up a test batch of really cheap 250gr hollow jacketed points to test around 15 years ago in a 1911.
The recoil was noticeably worse than 230gr which was a surprise and they didn't appear to do anything 230gr ammo couldn't already do. So I abandoned the idea.
Now I have a carbine and that will easily tame the recoil.
Are there any use able loads for 45acp loaded with heavier than 250 gr bullets?
The powders I would most likely use would be unique or AA7 and AA9.
My manual only goes to 250gr.
