A 45cal sabotless pressure trace was run recently using direct ignition, 300gr BE and 120grV of BH209. The pressure was 28.7kpsi and about 2230fps. As a comparison a similar trace was run a while back using a 300gr Rem and a 209 Savage plug. Swinglock also did a trace using his 209 system with 120grV and a FULL FORMED 350gr.

Peak pressure for the Savage 209 plug was only around 26kpsi and fps was close to 2100fps. The Swinglock 350gr trace had about the same peak (26kpsi) and gave about 2000fps.
