seeing as how this is not in the reloading area I assume you don't reload so as far as store bought, Critical defense from Hornady is a good self defense round. If you want a more critter type round then maybe Buffalo Bore but may need a stiffer recoil spring. There are lots of available types out there you just need to make sure it will function in your particular pistol. Federal personal Defense is also a good option or even Gold Dot from Speer but again it depends on how your pistol functions with them.What are some hot loads for 1911 full size 45 for woods carry or selfdefense?
Well this is a loaded question... (see what I did there?)What are some hot loads for 1911 full size 45 for woods carry or selfdefense?
Ha, ha....you got me on that one. Thx.You know, for some reason the terms "Hot Loads" combined with "1911/.45ACP" don't really go together. Maybe it's just me?
Check out .450SMC for a1911. DoubleTap sells 255gr hardcast SWC that screams at 1030fps from a 5" barrel. A heavier recoil spring is all that is needed to upgrade your 1911.
