Or if it's for a 1911 go old school and get a couple cases of what you want to carry and put a K through your carry gun and back up using dedicated carry mags and save a K for testing and carry. That should last at least a year. With a 1911 I would only trust the exact ammo I was going to use.
If it is a modern known 45 (G21, M&P) after break in I would be good with several hundred rounds and then using some of the "training copies"
But a case through one's carry gun and back up (so three cases total) would be the most ideal (and then a dedicated trainer to beat to death) even with a modern service weapon.
Good Luck!
Have you explored 200 gr SWC loads? It has always been one of my favorites out of 1911s.

I decided to jump off the cliff and ordered a half case of the purple tip Syntech. I like how it’s intended to be a range counterpart for HST, which is what I’ve been transitioning to in all my defense guns.
Let’s see how it goes!

I’ve got a Glock 20 Gen 4 10mm. I bought it just to have an additional caliber in the stable due to ammo availability issues over the recent years. If you do get a 29 let us know what you think about it. As always, I enjoy your insights on the forum.
10mm something that has always interested me but that I’ve never owned. Realistically my chances of being treed by a javelina or whatever are pretty slim, and the 9 or 45 I usually carry when I’m out photographing would be plenty of protection since I’m not hunting. As I mentioned in that thread it’s more about justification of a want.
