It looks like Power Pistol and Long Shot are the two main choices in this article.

Yea the 460 Rowland brass are what also allows for the higher pressures over the standard 45ACP.

Someone on another forum wrote that since the only difference between 45ACP (45 Super) and 460 Rowland is the length and wall-hickness of the brass. The cartridge overall length is the same for both cartridges since they both fit in the same magazine. Since the overall length is the same, the internal volume for powder is the same: With the same wall-thickness brass. If you have a 45ACP chambered barrel (ie Lone Wolf) that is made from the same material and has the same support as a 460 Rowland barrel, you could load your 45ACP/Super with the same data as the 460 Rowland and get similar performance. The only bad thing is to remember not to put the 460 Rowland powered 45ACP cartridges in a gun/barrel that can't handle the pressure.

As discussed in an older thread, I used the info from that site for loading 460 Rowland for a Para 1911 with Clark kit. Longshot delivered the velocity with good accuracy. No drama....no smilies, funky primers, etc. Great round, lived up to the hype.

What it will do in a converted Glock or other pistol I have no experience. ;)
