Question
Can you put slam pads on the H&K USP45f?

I put slam pads in my 1911's anytime I go over 850 fps in 45 acp with 230 gr bullets.

7.8 grains of PowerPistol with a 230 fmj is a hotsy totsy load. I settled on 7.1 grains of powerpistol, it averaged about 847 fps with 230 gr fmj.

Looks like the 5.4 gr bullseye load is right on the money for a milspec 45 acp load.
