6.5 grains of PowerPistol with a Lee 452-255 RF grain cast flat nosed255 grain bullet will give you a little over 900 fps in the .45acp...this is a +P load. I shoot the same bullet in my heavy duty...
I plan to deer hunt this year with a 5 1/2" Redhawk this year in .41 magnum. The bullet will be a Swift A-frame 210 grain over 22 grains of WW296. I have not chron'd this load but a 215 grain cast...
Although ALL Super Readhawks had ring cuts only the 7 1/2" Readhawks had the ring cuts and not ALL 7 1/2" versions did...

For the performance envelope that you defined...I am inclined to think Alient 2400 may give the best consistency and accuracy...Fast powders in a large case is just asking for mistakes...IMO...
I have never had any problems with heavy bullet WW296 loads in either the .44 mag or .45 Colt....but then again I have never used Wolf primers either...
8 grains of WW231 (aka HP-38) has worked great for me for 40 years...my favorite wandering around load in 4" M629...
My favorite cast bullet load for .44 mag is a 245 grain Keith style SWC at 1330 fps from a 4 5/8" Blackhawk. It carries 967 foot-pounds of energy the chono screens. My favorite cast load for .41...
The El Paso CD flap holster is not that expensive when you factor in their fantastic quality....You don't always get what you pay for...but you ALWAYS don't get what you DON"T pay for.....

Not complicated....put a big fat hard cast SWC through the heart/lungs and you are good to go. Great thing about a heavy .45 cal hard cast is that you can get it into the heart/lungs from ANY angle...

Yes...just as the .45 Super is a .45 acp loaded to higher pressures the .460 is loaded to even higher pressures than the Super.
For a hunting handgun where ranges 75 meters or less it is very hard to beat a red-dot sight...That is what I use for deer..
One way to checki your chrono is to fire a standard .22 LR round from a rifle through it. They are very consistent with what the manufacturer specs are for that specific cartridge. If the set up...
Nothing but a fun excuse to buy a new handgun..as far as personal defence goes...No thug that might threaten you will care whether you are armed with a .22 LR or a .500 Linebaugh...They don't want to...

I have used both types on deer and have had excellent results with both...The deer seem to be equally allergic to both...
I would think that you can get great results from Longshot in the .45 Colt with 255 grain cast bullets! I use 11 grains of PowerPistol under a 255 grain Keith type cast SWC for an honest 1050 fps...
I use both PowerPistol and LongShot in my .45 Super but with my fav hard cast flat nosed 255 grain LongShot gave the best results...1020 fps from a 5" S&W 4506. It appears to be a little slower than...

3D printing is very useful in the shooting sports! You design a part..print it..if it fits then have the part CNC's from metal...Was able to make a scope base for a pistol that was NOT available...

There is no "magic" to any bullet or caliber....To effectively kill an animal it first has to have enough penetration to get to vital organs from what ever shot angle is taken..then it has to be able...

You may want to look at Allient Reloader 7 as an alternative powder...In my 10" 357H Contender I get 1950 fps with a 158 gr JHP with 1 moa accuracy. I would expect no less excellent results in the...
I have had excellent results in both the .45 Super and .45 Colt...In the .45 Colt it easily produces 1050 fps with a 255 grain Keith bullet in a 4 1/2" barrel Ruger BHk...In the same gun 25 grains...
