Friend John Killebrew sent me some bullets awhile back ....

and I have been playing with them from time to time. Got out to the Range today and ran some through a couple 1911's.

230 gr. cast .45 ACP Bullets

I used my old ATI 1911 and the Shootists Ruger SR1911 with 2 different powder charges ..
9.0 gr. Blue Dot and 10.6 gr. Blue Dot. The 10.6 gr. load is stout and makes the old 1911 recoil a bit. Out of my ATI they average 1034 fps.

I fired several groups with each load and each gun ... these targets are about average.

RUGER

Recoil

I am sure a lot of the heavy load downrange would beat the guns up a bit. I am not using them for practice. They are saved for use during the Zombie Apocalypse.
