Borrow or buy a Speer #8 you will be amazed!


That is a terrible idea. First, it does not contain the data the OP wants (230-grain bullets). Second, it was published before Speer started using pressure testing instruments - it is WAY too hot. Once Speer started actually measuring pressure, they dropped the top load for the 200-grain jacketed bullet by 400 fps! I’d be “amazed” if shooters using the #8 data didn’t shoot their revolvers loose in a few range sessions....

The OP will not equal .45 ACP +P performance with safe loads in his revolver. When loaded to the same pressures, the ACP will produce about 100 fps higher velocity than the AR (Speer #14).
