I have used that load for years when not shooting my own handloads. I have 6 or so 50 round boxes on hand now. It is a very good GP 45 Colt load that is okay to use in any revolver.

Thanks. I checked Federal's site, and got 900 fps and 405 ft/lbs. at the muzzle. They recommend it as a self defence load, and I can believe it. It looks lke the lead hollow point  .38 spl FBI load but a lot bigger.

 Now comes in 20 round boxes, unfortunately, but I ordered 2 anyway to try it out.
