Yes, as we slip into our dotage, some of us still carry a 45.....

I just picked up a box of this but in 9mm the first batch I had wouldn't expand in clear gel, hope they got this sorted out now ? I kinda miss my old .45 but love the capacity of the nine...

Just googled it. Interesting that the 45 is a +P in 230gr. Aren't most 45 +P loads usually in 185?

Don't know about most, but I have a box of Critical Duty 230+P sitting in front of me.

One of the issues with developing 45 loads with increased performance is how slow the standard pressure loads run. By running +P, you can increase performance and make expansion more reliable. Both Winchester and Federal make highly respected 230 grain +P loads. I've shot hogs with the +P Winchester and they were suitably impressed.

And the word I got off-line was to hold off on the G2 for the time being.

Amen on the Federal 230 HST +P. I've killed several Texas deer with the load and they were all one shot kills with most dying on the spot. Impressive wound channel from beginning to end.

Beat me to it, I thought all the calibers were 9, .40 USPSA loads, and .45 Super.

[Poconnor]

But my Dept is dumping the 230 gr hst +p for 9mm because it's better!��
