I am sorry I don't have any better photos. I used to have a lot of them but ...

The ACP case is loaded base first into the cartridge, with the fired primer still seated. I shot them the other way around and the pressure blew the primer out and left the ACP cartridge stuck in the middle of the barrel.

Someone else had a similar issue I hear ... ahahaha

These were only running about 1600- 1700 fps. Others who tried this got them up over 2000 fps.

These have enough power to take down the 25 yard chickens.

When I spent some time with Lee Jurras about 10 years ago we shot quite a few of these.

      - I didn't weigh a .45 ACP hull, likely 100+ grs? - WB, 2018-02-24, 07:02
        What if you put another 100 grns of epoxy in the hull - KE, 2018-02-24, 07:59
