wondering if I can get a little flatter trajectory. I did the same thing with my .308, I normally load 150gr fmj bt with 40gr of 3031 and they clock in around 1200. with a 45gr 3031 with a 110gr bullet I can get just under 3k and its a laser, super flat lol
Is there a reference that states the pressures a certain barrel or mechanicals can take? My 1911 will be the first semi I have owned and reloaded for.

Since it's baaad juju to post anything above published max loads, I would point you to the following link for further edification. The 1911 forum is a great resource (not as great as CF-Maryland though). I will also state that with .308 you are talking about completely different animals. If you want a flat trajectory on a handgun bullet consider a FN 5.7 platform. 2,000 fps and up! The 1911's forte is that it throws the "flying ashtray" (230g JHP) designed for taking down human targets within 25 yards. High velocity and flat trajectories aren't part of the portfolio.

Thanks for the info though, I still need to run a few hundred "factory" loads through the '11 once I get it to break it in anyway.
Also, do you or Brian have a local-ish gunsmith you would recommend?
