I'm a big fan of heavy bullets in 45acp. The only load I run thru my S&W 22-4 45acp revolver is 255gr hardcast lswc bullets pushing 920fps. I had a S&W 45colt Mountain gun, but got rid of it because I found I couldn't really load the 45colt much hotter than I could the 45acp in a S&W revolver. If it were a Ruger, that would not be the case, but in a S&W you don't want to really push the 45colt to hot. Anyway, I found I could push my favorite bullet to the same velocity in the 45acp as in the 45colt, but use less powder.
If you are shooting a revolver, try Double Tap's 255gr 45autorim loads. They are a great load, accurate and hard-hitting. I've pretty much switched over to 45autorim in the revolver, and Double Tap sells the 255gr bullets for reloading, too.
My next step is to try heavier bullets in 45gap. I have a Glock 37 and Glock 38, and have been loading 225gr lead truncated cone bullets to about 900fps. I'd like to try 250gr lswc bullets, or maybe even the 255gr DT bullets. If anyone has any experience with this type of load, let me know.
Thanks
