My manuals, including hornandy, do not appear to have data for+p loadings. I shot 10 year old factory ammo of this same ammo and I felt like I was shooting a .44 magnum in a 1911. I'd love to duplicate it. I can get the bullet, I have the spent casings. But no loading data

Call Horndy, I'm not sure that they'll give you the info but its worth a shot. They are a reloading company after all.

Why not simply start with a known safe, reliable load for that bullet and start working your way up to it until you get to where you want? That's one reason we reload, right?

.38 spl+p is listed in the reloading manuals. Why not .45 ACP+p?

I'm doing exactly what you're suggesting. But I fear unique and even power pistol will not get me to the above said factory +p even with the maximum .45 ACP manual load

Could it have anything to do with .45 ACP not being fully supported?
