I can't shoot lead at my indoor range. I only reload practice ammo (in peace time). Most of my bullets are XTP but I do have 500 in RNFP (lead).

Thanks for the thoughts. I have ordered edition 9 of the Hornady book to replace my edition 7. Maybe that will help or a call to Hornady. The question, I think is how Hornady produced a satisfactory Critical Defense round as 45 Colt 185 gr FTX. Their Leverevolution FTX is 225 gr. I see they have a special powder for lever rifle calibers, so maybe they have a special one for pistol that we haven't heard about yet.
