    Hollow points COL 1.200in FMC round nose 1.250in.
    The gun used was a Colt 1911 competition custom gov mod.
    Winchester primers will yield approx. 25 to 30fps lower velocity.
    Chronograph used is a Oehler 350P.

    PS I used Winchester brass mostly and some Rem brass. I did not find any real deference.

    Thank you very much for the response,, very appreciated.

    All I have is the 115 gr round nose, from here, tried loading some and they keep hanging up at the ramp…

    Used Lee and Hornady load books…

    Pistol is a RIA new…

    I have been loading for over 40+ years and never had that problem, just don’t understand it…..
