This is the above bullet, loaded to 1.220" with a firm taper crimp. Ran a batch over 5.2 grains of W231 and got about 775 fps average, which is about 50 less than what I'll settle for. This is going to be a do-all load, which means I just might pop a deer with it. That big flat point will bore a substantial hole in meat & bone and at a Brinnel of 18, shouldn't expand on anything softer than a T-33 tank.

This particular recipe held just under 2" for five shots at 25 yards and shot right on top of my nickel Rock Island 1911's front sight. Function, like everything else with this gun, has been 100%.
