In response to requests from dedicated Limited and IDPA shooters, the Oregon Trail Bullet Company asked pro competition shooter Bruce Gray to develop a bullet specifically designed to solve reliability, accuracy and pressure problems associated with various popular 1911-type .40-caliber pistols.

Standard .40 S&W ammunition often feeds marginally from the 10mm Norma-length magazines of these otherwise excellent 1911-based pistols, while Major power factor handloads lack adequate safety margins if loaded to factory lengths with heavier bullets. Unlike all other blunt bullets intended for 10mm and .40 S&W, the new long-ogive Laser-Cast 40-1911 was designed to be loaded long for reduced pressure, exceptional accuracy and flawless feeding - yet chambers without the need for performance-robbing freebore reaming.

The unique 40-1911's advanced design takes maximum competitive advantage of the ultrahard Laser-Cast silver alloy with unparalleled results: The new 40-1911, 185-grain roundnose SWC makes Major power factor with significantly less powder than any other comparable cast, coated or jacketed bullet tested, for the ultimate in controllable accuracy from a Limited pistol.
