Practice Load Recipes: .45 ACP

[Talyn]

While practice ammo is available rather widely, it isn’t typically built to run as hot as defensive ammunition and, as such, denies you the full .45 experience. When it comes to recoil management and follow-up, you need to be practicing with something that handles more like a +p round.

Federal 45 Auto training ammo is 230 gr FMJ at 845 fps (5 less than the reload)

You can get 45 Auto range ammo with 230 gr FMJ with 853 fps velocity for about $22.00 /50

Melloni writes you should practice with +P loads and then offers a replica of a standard load at 850 fps. He says later that you don't need to crimp. This doesn't inspire confidence for me. YMMV
