Anyone experience supersonic factory 45 ammo through their rifle barrel? 185 grain probably, but any 230 or 200 grain?

45 acp burns its powder too quick to worry about that. After 10" of barrel the bullet starts to lose velocity from friction

I came here to post that same link. Some +P's in 185 and 200 will, and some 165 non-plus-P's also will.

I'm getting about 1080fps with 6 grains of either Unique or WW 231 and a 230Gr bullet out of my Kriss Vector CBR .45 carbine with a 16" barrel.

Could be but the results on the tests seem to show that it did in fact gain some velocity up to 16 inches.
