A: Hello James! Very curious. I relayed your question over to my man at Hornady. He said: "It looks like you have one of our older manuals, the latest edition (11th edition) calls for 1.230 which would be my suggestion." I've also relayed your question over to Ramshot for their opinion. I'll let you know what they have to say as soon as I hear back from them.

A: Hi Kelly. I asked the manufacture that very question a while back. Here is the response I was given. (I have shot a TON of +P through mine)
"The XD and XDm are designed to be able to withstand the pressures and amounts of recoil produced by +P and +P+ types of ammo. While it can handle these types of ammunition, it is not recommended to use +P on a consistent basis, such as target shooting. Prolonged use can cause undue wear and tear on your pistol. It is recommended however, that you thoroughly test this type of ammo prior to using it as your carry ammunition if you intend to use your XD or XDm for this purpose. These hotter rounds can cause timing and function differences in some pistols. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you."
