Para Ord P10 45acp 3.16" barrel
152 gr. lead semi wad cutter, .569" bullet length
12 gr. PowerPistol
1.275" OAL, Lee factory crimp
Starline 45acp +P brass
If Quickload is altered from 25 to 24 gr water case capacity to
compensate for the thick case walls, then 1,211 fps, 26,027 psi - 1,247 fps, 28.767 psi
chrono 1226 fps, 1257 fps,
Over all length is important in the short pistol for feeding and pressure.
+P brass is important with .235" feed ramp intrusion and .180" web on 45acp brass, leaving .055" of thin unsupported case wall. P.O. can do this for a 21,000 psi cartridge to improve feeding, but at 29,000 psi, I need the thick case walls to avoid a case bulge.
