their 9mm load(from France, no concerns about SAAMI pressures or lawsuits) was 45 grs at 2400 fps, in a 5" barrel. their .45 was 60 grs at 2200 fps. google for RBCD ammo and check out their 9x23 Win load. regular old 1911, and its 60 grs at 2600fps. DON'T THINK that I advocate their silly fragmenting bullet, ok? Just notice the bullet weight and the velocity achieved, all right? That load has the same momentum recoil as a 220 gr bullet at 600 fps or a 110 gr bullet at 1200 fps, but the 60/2600 fps load has 900 ft-lbs of energy, the same as an m4 223 has. Pretty amazing, in a belt gun, yes? that bullet COULD be a hollowbases, solid copper hp, you know. It doesn;t have to be a fragmented style bullet to get that velocity.
see, the SAAMI max pressure for the 356TSW, .40 short and weak, 357 Sig and 9x23 Winchester are all 40,000 CUP, while the plus P 9mm is limited to 33,000 CUP. 21% higher safe pressure translates into considerably more velocity potential, if you use the right powder with the bullet.
