Has anyone tried this particular bullet in the 45 LC? If so, would be interested in your results.

I haven't tried it in .45 Colt, but I have used it in .45 Schofield at about 900-950 fps and it makes an outstanding varmint load!

Thanks Glen, I guess when I get moved to the Free State of Virginia in a couple months, I will have to give them a try. I sure don't see why it won't work, however, finding load information is not easy. I will keep searching though.

Glen,
In what handgun was that experience with the Schofield brass? I use that brass in a couple of Colt New Service revolvers with relatively "short" cylinders. What size is your .45 Devastator falling from the mould? Mine's about 0.452" so problematic in .45 Colt revolvers., Thanks.
Best Regards
