Hi,
Have any of you PM45 / CM45 owners tried the Federal aluminum 230 grain ball ammo?
just wondering how it performs in the Kahr since they can be ammo picky. I hear the aluminum
expands and may not extract properly.
thanks
Dan

My local Walmart recently had Federal aluminum in 115 grain 9mm. I've shot more than 400 rounds without a single problem. I bet the .45 would work just fine.

I haven't tried the Federal stuff either but I have fired thousands of rounds of Blazer aluminum and the only problem I ever had with it was in a 9mm Firestar that I had years ago. It would occasionally have a FTF with aluminum cases. I don't reload handgun ammo, so if the price is right I would give it a shot.
At less than $200 per 1000, I was happy to find it. I use this stuff when taking courses, when I might not be able to retrieve my brass for reloading.

I'll look for it. I'm sure it'll work well in at least one of my beloved .45s.
