[QUOTE="keeter990, post: 1343060, member: 14790"] When I got my new .45 acp I did a few expansion test because I went from a 1911 with 5" barrel to a compact with just over 3" barrel. Obviously you don't have the same issue with loss of velocity that I do. Knowing I needed a smaller faster hp to help with expansion, I fired a few different rounds that were the most popular at that time ( this was a few years ago) into milk jugs full of water. After these tests I settled on magtechs guardian gold in 185 gr +p. It was the best performing one of the bunch. I'm planning on getting a tactical fullsize .45 soon. I will be doing a test with heavier +ps at that time and I will include magtechs in that test based on their past performance. I'd recommend them to you also. [/QUOTE]
