    .45 acp Max Rifle Loads

    Im trying to develop some loads for my mauser that i recently converted to 45 acp, ive played around with some reloads but ive only gone to about 5 grains of unique. i was wondering if anyone has gone bigger with it, i dont think i can destroy the rifle with bigger loads, but just to be safe i wanted to hear if anyone has gone bigger, and what kind of results they had.

        Sierra manual says for unique powder

        200gr fps coal 1.155, 700fps 5.2 grains, 950 fps 7.4grains

        230gr fmj match coal 1.270 and 230gr jhp coal 1.210, 700fps 5.2 grains 900 fps 6.8 grains

        out of a rifle you will see higher FPS as these loads were with a 5" barrel
