[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3336062, member: 27673"] I've reloaded for years but I was at Atwoods on Monday and thought for the heck of it I'd try a 100 round box of Federal Champion 230 gr. 45 ACP alum case ammo since they have all their ammo at 10% off till the 15th plus I had a little $$$ burning a hole in my pocket. Anyway, yesterday I was shooting the ammo through my 5" stainless Smith & Wesson 'E' Series 45 ACP M1911 and I was really impressed with the accuracy of the ammo on the 25 yd. steel gongs......it's advertised at 845 fps and maybe it was just me but it did feel a little snappy compared to my 230 gr FMJ reloads. Not a great feat for most here but using the ammo I fired the last 28 rounds at the 6" gong and I only missed with four rounds which for me is pretty darn good on the 6" gong. If you haven't shot any and don't need the brass to reload you may want to give it a try. [ATTACH=full]156493[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
