[chrisf8657]

Does anyone have load data for 45 ACP +P, 230 grain XTP @ about 930-950 FPS?

Many thanks

Always be careful...

Hodgdon list this with Longshot, not quite 930 but not P+ either
230 GR. HDY FMJ FP Hodgdon Longshot .451" 1.200"
Start 6.3 848 14,100 CUP
Max 6.8 908 17,200 CUP

not exactly what your after but maybe a little help.

Power pistol will get you there, I have a load that does 925 out of my Sig1911. It's not published data though.

Seems many +P loads at least for 38 +P (listed in manuals)are just the Max load of the the standard charge. What ever powder shows the max velocity. Any thing a tenth or a hundredth grain more than the max would be considered +P

Alliant has data for 45ACP +P IN their 2014 load manual. It can be viewed or downloaded from their website.

They do but they only added it for their new BE-86 powder. There is no 45 ACP +P data for other Alliant powders on their site.

Western Powders

Go to Western Powders web site. Click on updates. It has all the Ramshot and Accurate powders data.

But again, not 45 ACP +P data.

If you need +P .45 ACP loads?

You probably need a more powerful gun of some kind.

Rather then trying to make a .45 ACP into something it doesn't need to be in the first place to do what it has been doing for over 100 years at standard pressure.

You don't have to go into +P pressures if you are looking at 950 fps.

Ramshot Silhouette will get you there and then some and keep you within standard 45 ACP pressures.

Slower dirtier powder will get you those speeds and not exceed the pressure spec of your brass. Aa#5 or hs6 should get you there. 800fps is more or less spec and won't batter your gun. I've seen federal ammo run over 900. Winchester was closer to 800.

Data from Hodgdon

 

[SDGlock23]

Eight grains of Power Pistol will get you 1000 fps from a 5" bbl.

I looked on Hodgdon's load data

IMR x-800 maxed at 7.0 grains - gives 939fps

CFE Pistol maxed at 6.2 grains - gives 942fps
