Hornady 45 cal. XTP 250 gr - NEED L.D>

[redfish414]

Have a box of Hornady XTP 250 gr . 45 cal.
How are these out of a 45 ACP out of a Springfield XD Fullsize

Also need load data as well
Thanks

Big and very slow!
it can be used but such weights are normally for the 45 cal revolvers.
John Browning designed the 1911 for the 200 grain projectile, the military speced out the 250 grain, they finally decided that 230 was about as heavy as they cared to go with.
course this was way long ago and the powders/projectiles weren't near the quality/ performance of todays.
loading data will depend on what powder that you are going to use.
Hope this helps.

Figured. Thought they were 230 when I grabbed them . Anybody willing to trade towards fmj bullets in 40 or 45 ?

Let me see what I have at home. I need some heavier stuff for 45lc/454 and may have some 200-230gn around

Great willing to trade for 45 acp brass of just plain 200 or 230 plated RN fmj projectiles

Just checked and the only jacketed stuff I have is 260gn, the wrong way. I have some cast 200gn swc and xtreme 200gn rn. I may have some brass, just traded for a bunch, let me let it settle out and see what I end up with.

I bought those by mistake once too. Good luck trading them!

I did the same thing. Looking for load data for the .45 ACP 250gr. Have found none, must be a bad idea.
