Went to range today with my 45 ACP handy carbine. I also took the auto pistol for practice. Loaded 100 rounds, cast, linotype, 230g RN, sized 452, over a full case of TRAIL BOSS. Recoil was mild, fired all rounds at 50y. Sound level was mild but not quiet, muffs required. Used a double rest, front on the receiver. Red dot scope. I also fired three rounds factory and three rounds Unique. The Unique rounds were Chronyed at 1200 FPS, same bullet. The recoil was about the same for all. Different POI but not much. I zeroed the scope for the Trail boss and achieved 1 Inch average groups, but had some flyers. One out of 20. That red dot is not very precise especially with my poor eyes but in the ACP and the light loads is quit the ticket. Quick up, quick acquire, quick shot. Achieved 8” groups at 50y free hand.. This project is complete. One member here had stated, why hot rod the ACP, it is what it is. Good advice. I love it for what it is. PS I loaded up the auto pistol with these rounds. All fired, all cycled, and all hit the target. Joy.
