I am working on a couple self defense loads for my Para Carry .45 (3" 1911).
185 gr. Hornandy hp/xtp
5.5 Bullseye
and
230 gr. Hornancy FMJ-RN
5.0 Bulleye
I have not chrnographed the loads yet, but have gotten a decent ammount of flash when shooting both loads. Since most shootings happen in low or no light, I am afraid the flash will be too much.
Can anyone recommend a load (powder) that may reduce this flash a bit. Or because of the short barrel, will I pretty much get flash with whatever I use?
I am sure I will go with the the 185 gr Hornandy in the end.
PLEASE do not tell me not to reload self defense ammo! I like to practice with what I carry, and practice a lot with it. Let's save the should I or should I not carry reloads for SD ammo for another thread please! Thanks.
Otherwise...
Any help is appreciated!
