Picked up a Springfield armory operator the other day I was at the range from a gentleman that was having issues.
I’ve never been a huge 45acp fan. It’s just always felt kind of anemic.
I got 2 mags ful of ammo with the pistol. Went about and shot them and remembered how do t like it.
I’ve got a box of .452 250gr for loading for my father in law.
I have cfe pistol and shooters world ultimate pistol.
Can’t really find data for the shooters world so I improvised my own off their 230gr data.
This is the part where I say don’t try and copy my data. Lose your fingers on your own. Or something like that.
Anyhow. I started with the bullets and seating depth. I seen them being loaded at 1.160 with the bullets I have.
Loaded them there it’s 6gr cfe pistol. They actually shot really well. Felt nice in the hand.
I ordered all the springs and gray bottom ding pin stop. But I’ve not got them yet. So after they all get here Thursday probably I’ll start pushing a bit more for the 45 super stuff. I don’t know if I’m interested in 1200fps. But I do want a solid 1000fps with the 250gr cast coated bullet. I won’t shoot a ton of them. But I want them as an option.
I started with the shooters world at 5.1gr and went up to 6.5gr. They all shot pretty well. I had one not chamber. I think the oal just got away from me on it.
After shooting thes I came home and load 3 more sets of 5 up to 7gr. Was raining today so didn’t get out to shoot. Tomorrow I will and I’ll update the post.
Also. His is with 45acp brass. Small primer.
Can’t post videos.
But I made it to 950fps with the 6.5gr load of ultimate pistol. I posted the brass to look over.
Ejection was all pretty nice. About 6’ away at my 4oclock or so.
