1) 45 acp 185 gr 1100 fps 10.2 gr AA#5 18,000 psi
2) 45 acp +P 1200 fps 10.8 gr AA#5 21,700 psi
3) 45 Super 1312 fps 12.4 gr AA#5 28,000 cup
4) 460 Rowland 1500 fps 14.5 gr AA#5 38,800 cup

I have worked up all the way through this. I found a gun with good cases support and had good consistant brass. I did develop a flich and a shake though. I made a 42 pound triple recoil spring on a homemade guide rod and got rid of the flinch. I also had to double up on the magazine spring or the chamber would be empty after each shot. The extra spring meant there was room for one fewer rounds in the mag.
