Almost all the .45 ACP I shoot is my own handloads, which have been anything from 185 grain to 230grain. 175 grain is starting to get into "exotic round" territory. Maybe look this one up on the manufacturer's website and see what they say about it.
I don't get what is the problem with Magtech brand ammo. As for +P in a Bond .45 ACP barrel, I can't see how that would be a problem when they sell barrels in much more powerful calibers, but I won't do it. Thanks!
Oh, it's fun, but in a perverse sort of way.
Contact Bond Arms and ask them about it. The warning I pasted from their website is pretty generic, and could actually be an admonishment against using +P Colt as opposed to .45 ACP. Maybe +P .45 ACP is not specific to the warning. The .410 / .45 Colt barrel chambers are long enough to insert .454 Casull, but clearly one should not use Casull in a .45 Colt.
I thought we'd talked you out of the +p ammo. Again, in that short barrel, the +p will gain about nothing. It might enhance that perverse fun, but probably not by much.
You did. No +P for my .45s. But what is really perverse is the Bond Arms Cyclops in 45-70!I wouldn't

Yep, I have enough pain in my right wrist from a youthful hyper-extension (skateboarding accident) that I need to be careful how hard my hand is hit with recoil. But I do like .45s, a lot!Good grief. Ye saints and little fishes.....!

My pleasure in excessively rorty loads is long gone. My .45 loads are short of full house hardball, and the .45 Colts are punkin' rollers. A lot of my fellow codgers at the Club have the same issue.
I used to have a source for low-priced ammo and this company offered reduced recoil loads, but sadly the business closed. At 65 injuries suffered in my younger days come back to haunt me. If this wrist gets any worse I may have to try shooting left handed, but that will require some strength training and a lot of practice. Else I have to quit being so macho and accept a smaller caliber for target practice. .22s are fun to shoot, but ya miss that big boom of the large calibers. I also could go over to rifles which would not impact the wrist much at all. My shoulder seems to be pretty good, no injuries.
Those 185 gr SWCs should be pretty mild by any standard.

Awesome gun. Awesome group. I would need a LOT of practice to get that good.My department uses these lead free frangible Winchester rounds for indoor range work. The 175 +P .45 Auto has recoil very similar to a regular 230 grain ball round. Id have to shoot them side by side to tell you a difference.
Shooting both 45 and 9mm I have noticed a very little accuracy loss, if any at all. Here is my Colt using the 175 +P at 20 yards.
Now that is my kind of bowling! Sounds like "loads" of fun!

Fascinating, but at $2 a round, I am going to have to pass. The Winchester 185 grain .45 ACP I ordered came out to 56 cents a round including tax and shipping.
Now there's a typo that is way too close to the truth!
That typo was intentional.Now there's a typo that is way too close to the truth!
Deranger indeed. Hot loads in that puppy will leave you deranged.
