Remember that the 9x23 Win (55K PSI) was successfully produced in the standard Colt 1911 GM without a ramped barrel. No blowups as far as I know, but a suitably constructed case.


Yes, my investigating says Winchester brass is the strongest, though hard to find, sane loads in a ramped barrel should prove Starline to be just fine too.


Meant non-ramped barrel with Starline brass in the Colt.


Trump Won!
