Gentle posters. The American Rifleman had an article on the .45 Super about a year ago. History and development as well as reloading data were covered. In addition, the modifications made by the late Ace Hindemann were covered in detail.

Reloading data should not be exceeded under any circumstances. In the next issue, in the letter to the editors, was a letter from a co-developer of the cartridge. He was shooting some reloads one day, and noticed significant recoil, but no signs of excess pressure. These loads were later tested out at about 55,000 cup!! His insightful comment was that the first sign of overpressure in the 1911 pattern is often a burst gun.

Be careful with this one. Walt
