The box of CCI 300 is missing a tray, so it's 900 instead of 1000. But just like the 500s, I don't think I'll use anymore of them. Ive got several boxes each of 350 and 550(magnums). I should be good until the shelves are restocked. Between that and this mask bullshit my range time was cut in half this past year anyway. Plus I've got plenty of assembled stuff that will last quite a while.
I know where that tray of 300s went too, .45 auto. 45 +P runs 950-990 fps, standard 45 runs about 830 fps. I made up a bunch that are in between the two. On paper they do about 900 fps with 230 ball, and I like em. They run well out of the Camp 45 too...
Winchester FMJRN 230gr
True Blue 7.7gr
CCI 300
mixed cases(range pickup)
if you aren't running recoil buffers you need to get them
and one of these days I will buy a chronograph

I like spicy food, but ghost peppers aren't food. Proper spice is all about flavor, like good Cajun food. This ghost pepper crap is about inflicting pain

which is what I didn't understand about putting it in a "mild" whiskey.

Ever use any Accurate Powders? Accurate #5 specifically.
Came across some at actual reasonable price. Looks pretty comparable to HP-38 from everything I've read on forums folks seem to be happy with it. I've been happy with the HP-38 (W231). Have use it in my 9mm and 38spcl.

I'm definitely a go for those CCI 300 as well.
I have not used recoil buffer...actually had to look it up. Although I really have not been shooting 45. I just got the Gold Cup couple months ago and fired it only the one time. I'm getting ready to start loading for it next probably.
My 1911 is a Gold Cup Trophy, series 80. and I've been reading on forums about the recoil spring. I think the Trophy models have a lighter spring, but I can't verify that. I don't know what mine has, but I'm planning on shooting 230 Gr almost exclusively (as I have 1500 bullets at that weight) for reloading plus a stock of several hundred (maybe 700) 230gr factory loads on hand. I can't find the Colt Trophy factory specs (have not really looked) on what this gun came with. I bought it used and it was advertised as a "safe queen" that had only been fired a handful of times. Assuming that's true, the original factory springs should be just fine.
So I actually found in the beginning of the manual that the Gold Cup comes with lighter recoil spring (green end) for shooting lighter SWC loads, as well as a heavier spring for heavier loads - but it does not specify the spring weight of either. Now I'm going to have to go home and look, but I don't recall seeing another spring in the case.
Should I just get/use a new 18.5# spring? That appears to be the standard weight spring for 230GR. I really have not shot but maybe 20-30 rounds through the Gold Cup so I'm a total novice with it.
I have a Sig P320 Compact 45 I bought as my carry gun a few years ago and have shot a several hundred rounds through, but it's a different animal altogether. (although it's not really what I would consider a compact). It's just slightly smaller than a full size. It is no longer my carry gun so it doesn't get used as much anymore.
