Hey, let's not get all butthurt over our 200gr pet loads (
I just like using that phrase).
I am talking defenseive loads.
I like Proload's 200gr Gold Dots at just under 1000fps.
But, I have been contemplating the Corbon or Triton 200gr at 1050fps. If only Corbon or Triton used Gold Dot bullets, I would be a happy man. Or, even better, if Proload would bump their velocity up at least 50fps.
I learned on another forum that the .45 ACP was actually designed for the 200 gr load and that the 230 gr came later when they wanted the ACP load to more match the .45 Long Colt load, which was a 230 gr. Anyway, I like the 200gr because it performs best out of my short barreled Glock 30.
Bubba -
Do you order from Billy Bullets out of Arizona? I am placing my first order for his Moly coated bullets. I can't decide between the 200gr or the 225 gr.
Billy Bullets' 225 gr Moly coated target bullet was "designed" by a guy I know at Dillon Precision for optimum accuracy.
