Going out to the farm this weekend and bringing the .454 raging bull. I thought I'd load some really light loads for varmints and targets at 50 yards or less...just to get some mid range practice. In my .45acp 1911a1 I find that 185 swc shoot very accurately. I cast them with #2 alloy and size at .452. Any thoughts on a load to shoot these thru the .454? I'd like to keep it in the 800-900 fps, nothing faster, and load them in .45lc cases. And in Red Dot powder if I can. Thanks...tnv

6 grains of BE, 700X, etc. That means 6.5 of RD. Very light crimp on the top band. ... felix
