Hello everybody. I've lurked on these forums for years but now I finally have a question that a Google search has yet to really satisfy. In my reading I have found a picture of E. K. holding a smallish SWC that is described as a 200gr .45ACP bullet of his design. Does anyone know anything about this, a source for bullets or even perhaps a mold, or even some history or anecdotes? I know he was a fan of the 1911 as an automatic and it would not surprise me if he put his talents towards tweaking/optimizing the cartridge for that particular arm. I am aware of the D&L semiwadcutter and I am intrigued by it, but obviously this is not the one Keith himself had.
If it's true and it feeds well, two big if's- could it be loaded to 1000fps safely in a magnum research 1911GI?
Aside- does anyone know how to replicate a .44 special skeeter load in .45ACP? That is, 250ish grain keith at 950fps while also maintaining standard pressure.
I apologize for multiple questions but to me they are related somewhat.
Thank you for your consideration.
