Hello Everyone,
I like heavy and slow bullets for self defense. Trying to decide if I am going to go from the 45 acp to the 50 gi caliber with a Speer 325 grain 50 gi as tested by Taffin http://www.handloads.com/loaddata/t...&Weight=All&type=Handgun&Order=Powder&Source=
Does anyone know of a source for a 300 grain, rebated, boattail base bullets that will fit in 45 acp brass? Preferably a JHP or a copper HP.
A major argument against such a heavy 45 acp round was that it would bulge the casing. However, in the April 2006 issue of Handloader Magazine, the article, "Super Heavy Bullets in the .45 Auto" by Bob Campbell, that issue was easily resolved. He resolved it by using a 300 gr. rebated, boattail base bullet. This bullet was made by Northwest Custom Projectiles. However, that company appears to be out of business.
Thanks for any assistance.
