"I got over 1000 in .45 ACP once. Almost 1100. Pulled the rest of the bullets and crossed that load out in the manual.

That load flung the brass about 30 feet.

I won't post it here, but you can look it up in the Hornady manual. Power pistol with 230grn HP-XTP. It's the red one. Don't use it if you like your pistol. I started having new feeding issues in my Mil Spec after using it.

Second that, I loaded a little under that, didn't seem too bad on the recoil, but I got tired of chasing the brass, couldn't believe how far they went. Chrono'd at 1020fps if I remember correctly.
