.45 colt carbine
« on: May 16, 2007, 03:35:50 PM »
 :)spoke with my local dealer today and my carbine is resting comfortably in the store-room at First Stop Gun. bullets and dies were delivered , today, by a nice guy in a big brown truck, and, primers, powder, and brass are on hand. in all probability i will take delivery tomorrow, providing my schedule allows. loading will have to wait as the annual family picnic is on for Sunday. will update this post with details as they develop. oh,yeah, CCI large pistol primers, Winchester brass, a schmall amount of Unique, and Rainier 250 grain FP's will be the initial load. howdies to y'all. dinger.

Congrats!!! You're gonna love the Colt Carbine, shot mine today for the first time. A max load of Lil'gun and the 250gr Speer Gold Dot HP got me a nice 1¾" clover leaf at 100yds, chrono'd at 1920fps 15' from the muzzle. ;)
