For the 45ACP, Speer has had a great load. The JHP nose is so wide and gaping it has been dubbed "The Flying Ashtray." But it has had feeding problems in some guns.

The Speer GoldDot in 45ACP will stop hard if there is a vertical area before the feed ramp starts. The Colt Officers barrels are built that way. Glock feed ramps are smooth all the way, but often don't completely support the casehead. The brass can balloon and make reloading impossible.

The P245 fed EVERYTHING I shoot on a regular basis from reloads to the expensive MagSafe and Glaser rounds. Even the Flying Ashtrays. I went thru a couple of mags of each last week. I'll bet I went thru 500rds that day. No malfunctions, and I bought the piece used.
