45/357 crush ribs PLEASE!

With all the interest, and new 1-20 twist 45 caliber rifles being produced, these would be VERY nice to see.
My Super 45XR is HARD to load with the MMP's.
Some of the excellent .357 caliber bullets out there, like the 158 and 180 grain XTP's, would make good low recoil deer loads. The 9mm's would be FUN for plinking and fog and fur loads too.
Pretty please Harvester!

Just run the bullets through a 9mm sizing die from Lee or better yet a .354/.355 custom die. Try some Hornady 147gr 9mm BTHPs. They fit those sabot perfect.

BTW i asked them years ago.

Funny you mention the 147 gr 9mm's. I tried them and the did shoot well. 50 gr of 3f Swiss if I recall. That charge gives a 180 grain bullet 1550 fps, so that little 9 must be SCREAMING!
The 180 gr 357 XTP with 60 gr shot quite well, but it was a tough load.
Will try the sizing idea. I hope it doesn't lead to core/ jacket issues.
