300 grain 45 colt

[Castaway]

Do a search using Brian Pierce and 45 Colt. He did quite a work-up with different powders and different strength guns.

Hey fellers. Correct me if I am wrong, often am, but I think the 1892 in .45 LC is a recent development. Any 1892 .45, as I recall, is a stout piece. Buffalo Bore makes heavy 300…..

Hey feller, welcome aboard! Unfortunately, this thread is almost ten years old and the OP hasn’t been back to the forum in 7 years. He won’t care about your helpful post. It also explains about the M92 in .45 LC.

15-16 grains of 2400 under that bullet would be max or over-max in a TC or Ruger, and way over max in a typical Colt .45
I have in my data 18 grains of 2400 under a 250 grain bullet as MAX in TC/Ruger only for .45 Colt. I'm gonna go ahead and say 2400 is probably one of the worst powders for forcing cone erosion, just going by the tremendous gouts of flame that it produces in heavy loads. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Not as bad as Lil Gun
