yes I'm the one who tried .45 super, and I'm
sure now its not a load that the 1911 would
handle for long, anyway I load Winchester 231
5.7 grains with Win 230 gr. FMJ, I use a 22lb
Wolf spring with recoil buff pads, full length guide rod, Speer reload manual says
6.2 gr.MAX with 231, also Winchesters manual
says 5.7 gr. is MAX, I tried 6.2 but the cases split at the rim, need Kart ramped barrel for heavier loads, I get 800 FPS with
5.7 gr. 231, and only use a crimp that pushes
case back against bullet, no real crimp, the
bullet is held by case not crimp, are your
reloads going into chamber too far?
