Ballistic Performance and SAAMI Specifications

Underwood manufactures every round in this line to SAAMI’s published specifications for the 45 ACP cartridge. This ensures safe chamber pressures and reliable dimensional compatibility with SAAMI-spec firearms. Because this is a +P loading, it operates at a higher pressure ceiling than standard-pressure 45 ACP ammunition. Consequently, shooters should confirm their firearm handles +P pressures before firing. For example, handloaders working up their own 185 grain projectiles often reference this factory loading’s published velocity as a useful benchmark. However, chronograph results can vary by barrel length. Therefore, always verify velocity and function in your own firearm before relying on this load for defensive or competition use.
