1973, 10 grs UE=165 gr 45 ACP@1400 fps

regular old 1911. Dean Grinnel and Mason Williams were homeswaging the jhp's, and wrote up this load in their Law Enforcement Handgun Digest. in the late 1970's, Mas Ayoob wrote about using 10 grs Unique to get a 140 gr .45 swc (200 gr mold, using pewter) to 1400 fps, in a regular 1911. You guys are WAY behind the curve.

My favorite load is 10.0 grains of Uniques pushing a 245 grain LRNFP bullet .................................... in .38-55!
