Buffalo Bore .45 ACP +P - Do I want to shoot these?
I recently bought a box of 20 of Bullalo Bore 185g JHP +P. The box (which I don't have with me at the moment) states some 1150 FPS and 540 ft/lbs of muzzle energy.
Do I want to shoot these in my Colt Series 80 1911? My gun was made in 1984. I have the strongest Wolf recoil spring in it - 22Lbs, I think. It's also got a recoil spring bushing. So I think I'm good there. But I'm still concerned.
I've been shooting and loading for years. I've never seen velocity and energy numbers that high for a 45. I'm starting to think it's gonna blow my gun to pieces.
Any thoughts? Experiences?
