As I mentioned in the pistolcraft section I have been reloading .45 Super for my H&K full size for a while now using Starline 45 Super brass, Hornady 185 XTP's and Universal clays powder.I can only seem to reach about 1200 fps on my chronograph without buldging cases at the base. This is only slightly faster than some of the +p rounds I have seen. At least one magazine reached around 1300 fps with Power Pistol powder.The chamber of my HK seems a little loose but so do the rest of my 45 autos. Might this be the pressure curve deal inhearant with autoloading guns. Has anybody else experienced this with autos.Most handguns and rifles I have handloaded for seem to show other high pressure signs,ie, flattened primers,extractor marks,etc. long before buldging cases. Where am I going wrong. Thanks much, Bob
