I'm looking for a Woods load and also a deer hunting load for both the full-size 1911 45 ACP and full size Glock 21 45 ACP gun what bullet and powder would you recommend?
I do have some new 45 super brass available to that I could load up.

These are the hottest heaviest loads I am aware of. I am not aware of any loading data that will equal them.

ive shot 255 round flats but anymore stick to the bullets designed for them. I hate to beat up an expensive 1911 when.
I used to shoot 265 gr cast out of my 1911 when shooting bowling pins.
I think any defense load would be good for deer hunting.
I only shoot 230 gr truncated cones out of mine. Started with a round nose but the TC feeds better, shoots as well or better.
Most of mine are pretty moderate loads of Red Dot. I would not go as low as 4.5 grains as mine came back sooty.
Went up a little and no more soot.
Considering that is almost double the weight of the average .30 caliber boolit I would have no concerns with it.
Yes you can go bigger, faster. But what is that going to do to your accuracy and confidence?
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
Bullets over 240-grains in an M1911 are frame crackers. It's your money.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.

I never go over 220. Normally stay at 200.You can split your gun wide open with those heavy boolits! Like said above................it's YOUR money!
Always stick with what is proven to work and be safe.
The 230 grain bullet has been the standard since 1906. Hard to get much more proven that.

Heavy bullets are not the problem. Over pressure and slide velocity is. Slide velocity can be controlled somewhat by weight of the recoil spring, mainspring and the shape of the firing pin stop.

But it is still nice to stay on the "comfortable side" of the specs, at least for me and my purposes. 200 suites me just fine.Originally Posted by M-Tecs
Thanks for the info!
banger
230 is where JMB made it to run, mine live between there and 200. Every scenario is different but if you think you need more bang get something designed with more bang. Also if you do not have a 44 revolver this could be an excellent excuse/opportunity to dip ones toe.

I used the 255gr LSWC in a 1911 on bowling pins, man it clears the table with authority! This load would be very effective on game as well. If you can't seat them about .060" proud of the case mouth, have your barrel throated so you can. The 1911 feeds much better with longer COA and you have more room for powder.
Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

That buffalo boar load is a good load it puts you where the original 45 colt load was at. If you haven't already I would fit a flat bottom firing pin stop and consider a Wilson bushing compensator. A lot of folks will tell you the bushing comp and any comp on a 45acp is a waste. Well I have one on my 45acp and I have recently shot some 265gr bullets far above what anyone here will tell you what's safe the eject about 5ft from me and are comfortable to shoot with a 14 pound recoil spring. Set your gun up right get the chamber reamed from Doug and be smart about your loads. Don't try to use springs as your only upgrade

Did the old 260 gr. Speer load from their book many decades ago. They worked but I felt it silly. As I shot more, I switched to cast and I've settled on 200grswc and 230 grTC bullets only. Either will do for my running about the farm with my .45 auto.

Other than 230 RN profile boolits, i tried a few 242 grain cup points. But not a bunch of them, though. 200 RNFP by Lee is my go to boolit now for 45ACP. Old Ruger P90 in 45ACP, 200 grain RNFP it'll drive them in a nice tight group at 25 yards if i do my part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As said before, your mileage may vary.
I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!
Lead 255 grain swc - over a stout charge of Unique in WW2 steel cases that were teflon coated - RIP Dean Grennell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Grennell) you were a bad influence but a great time.
Gun modified with double spring system (Detonics) and extra power firing pin spring - this was the beginning of the 45 Super cartridges.

I shoot a 270 at around 950 in my AMT 7" longslide. I put a heavy spring in. It dumps brass about 18" away.
I have a 270SAA mold that throws 280gr cast soft. I tried a few running about 800fps, fed fine in my 1911.
