    Fast 45 ACP

    Hmm... Starting load and I think it's already a compressed load.

    45 ACP, 13.4 gr Ramshot Enforcer, 240 gr Sierra JHP. 1.235" COAL.

    Just some preliminary testing. I shot 10 shots (listed as two 5 shot groups) in the 5.25" XDm with the 460 Rowland conversion and 5 shots from the 3.3" XDs of some factory 230gr FMJ American Eagle ammo.

    I then shot 2 rounds of each load from the XDm and then 3 shots from the XDs. Again the powder is Ramshot Enforcer loaded with 240 Sierra JHP's at 1.235" OAL.

    The muzzle was 4-5ft from the muzzle of the handguns.

    Now that I know my XDs will handle it I'll do some more testing and actually shoot some groups. At least initially it would appear to like the max load. That seemed to burn cleanest in both handguns. The XDs stayed much cleaner than the XDm did.

    Nice! What powder are you using for that?

    I have some #2 and #7 but no 9. We'll see how my later loads turn out before I buy more powder I guess.

    Yeah. I bought it for working up some 460 Rowland loads along side Power Pistol. Both will probably be used for testing some 500 Auto loads as well.
