plain and simple, i'm looking to do some testing on my own platforms and i need a 230gr .45ACP equivalent of the Federal 9BPLE. Bonus points for a Federal product in +P or +P+ that's not $0.75+/rnd.
 
Buffalo Bore has a variety of +p rounds, with this one having the highest energy:

.45 ACP +P Ammo - 185 gr. J.H.P. (1,150 fps/M.E. 543 ft. lbs.)

Seems like 230 gr loads are the most proven in .45 however, and it was never really meant to be very fast/high pressure.

The Holy Triumvirate for me remains these 230 gr + P loads:

Federal HST
Gold Dot (they also have a very nice 200 gr +P)
Win Ranger T
