Speer sells a 260gr JHP bullet and has a listing for it under the .45 ACP load data in their manual. It cautions to test it to make sure it will feed in your pistol before loading too many. The bullet actually looks more like a semi jacketed hollow point, as the tip is exposed lead.
Just curious if anyone here has ever used this load? I was thinking about trying it in my Springfield 1911 and my Smith and Wesson M&P45. The Speer manual suggests it for hunting use when greater penetration is needed. I wondered about easing my way up to a fairly hot load for a mountain carry round in these pistols.
Any input would be appreciated.
