The above loading data is only for handguns converted to .45 Super and only for use with Triton or Starline .45 Super cases. All loads were assembled with a Federal 150 primer to an OAL of 1.220". The velocities are from a 5" barrel.
Standard .45 Auto dies are utilized in loading the .45 Super. Various brands of primers have been used in developing the .45 Super. The Federal 150 offers the best overall performance. The use of a magnum primer is not necessary nor recommended. A heavy taper crimp is recommended when loading the .45 Super.
WARNING: The .45 Super cartridge generates higher pressure levels than conventional .45 Auto or .45 Auto +P ammunition. The .45 Super cartridge case is constructed to withstand higher levels of pressure than conventional .45 Auto brass. Under no circumstances should .45 Super ammunition be used in a firearm not chambered or converted to .45 Super. The use of .45 Super ammunition in anything other than an authorized .45 Super firearm or conversion will cause excessive wear and possible damage to the firearm and injury to the user. DO NOT attempt to use the above data in standard or +P .45 ACP cases.
