I build a 1911 in 400 Cor bon the load data is very little in the world of loads. Has anyone got some load data.
Here you can study some data; Remember that pressures are 400 Corbon ~ 26.5 - 29 k psi

I tried getting a .400 Cor-Bon barrel in my 1911, but I just could never get it to reliably feed. Now while it just may have been a problem with my 1911, I just had to give up on it. I think that is when I decided to go with a 10mm instead. I was using 165 grain bullets and 10.2 grains of Blue Dot.
A friend of mine asked me what I thought about the .400 Corbon and I said I have 10mm pistols and was not interested.
He bought a barrel for his Gold Cup and told me how much money he saved over buying a new gun. His fed great.
He had fun for about two months until the Gold Cup frame cracked beyond fixing.

Oops! That didn't work out too well!
So now he has to buy a brand new gun, anyways. ???
