45LC range report
« on: March 28, 2007, 09:15:21 AM »
 :D Finally made it through the mud and snow to get to the range today. Had to chase three deer away from a sunny bare spot where they were grazing. I used a number of loads I have for my blackhawk. All at fifty yards.
Rcbs 250 gr FRN 6.8 gr. w-231 1.5" group
Rcbs 250 gr FRN 5.5 gr. American Select 1.5" group
Lyman 230 gr. RN 8. gr. Unique 1.0" group
3D impact (factory) 255 gr LRN 2.0" group
RCBS 255 gr swc 6.8 w231 -ugly pattern ???
RCBS 255 gr swc 6.0 titegroup 1.5"
RCBS 300 gr SWC GC 15 gr AA7 all touching 1.25" group
RCBS  "        "       "   22 gr. IMR 4227  2.0" group
RCBS  "        "       "   7.1 gr. w231 1.75" group (4 touching)
Sierra 300 gr LSP 21.8 gr w296 1" group BEST OF THE DAY
These were using my tired old eyes and really inadequate factory sights. Looks promising to me. Had a lot of fun. Recoil was all but nonexistent.

Amen to what stimpy just said ... the .45 colt has long been my favorite caliber too. I have some six-shooters and a Marlin CB in .45 colt ... a very versatile caliber and really fun to reload for in my opinion.

I have a 16 in 94 saddle carbine. Sould be right interesting experiment in velocity with the 4 5/8 16 & 20in tubes. I usually shoot 250 xtp's over 296

Shanner the barrel locked up fine on a couple of frames Thanks again
