.45ACP ammo try out

I'm one of those guys who occasionally spends more than I should to try out unfamiliar ammo. In this case, Underwood 255grn polymer coated hard cast .45acp +P. Rated at 925fps from a 5" 1911. Expensive, $1.50/rnd plus shipping so not something I'd go plinking with. But it did live up to the advertising, with no problems in my Ruger LC45 carbine or Tisas 1911.

I'd like to see some load data, my old Lee shows a 250 gr lead. No specific mold.
I like their ammo, but like you said "it ain't cheap".

You might could get it from Hornady. They sell the bullet.
