What's the best .45 cal bullet for a 4.25" barrel such as the Commander size 1911? I've heard reports stating that Federal 230gr Hydra-Shocks were the best .45 cal bullet but that data was taken mainly from full size 5" barrels such as the Government models. And when data was complied 4.25" barrels the stats for Federal are not as good. Any bullets better than Hydra-Shocks for this length? Thanks.
 
fedral makes a 165 gr. hydroshock in .45 and also corbon has a 165 @1250 fps
but i usually shoot the lighter bullets out of the shorter barrels just to make up for the velocity differance!
