I have shot a lot of the Speer Lawman, in .40S&W and it has been great. Also reloads well.
I had a case of Federal American Eagle in 9mm and it is, by far, the nastiest 9mm I have shot to date. It groups well, functions well, but is dirty as all get out. My hands are absolutely black when I get through shooting a box or two of it. Other than that, it ain't bad.
I have shot some Fiochhi in the .40S&W. It performs well and would be a even money match with the Lawman.
In .45auto, Sellier & Bellot has performed well as has the Winchester USA bulk pack from Walmart. The Winchester sells for about $20 per hundred, not a bad price.
Although not a direct reply to the .45auto question, I hope this helps.
