Shoot it all day plinker loads? 45 Colt vs. .357 Mag / .38 Special?

[John Boy]

I'm up for trying some light 45 Colt loads.

Trail Boss and 200gr bullet

The Lee 200rf is a good boolit. I load them in both colt and acp brass and shoot them regularly out to 100yds. If the sun is right you can actually watch them fly that far!

Buying a new gun to save money? My wife "saves" money that way. "But it was on sale."
Buy another gun if it pleases you, but improved economy is seldom a reality.

I bought a Colt SAA clone in .38/.357 awhile back thinking I'd save a little lead and powder and utilize some of my dormant .38 brass. Sweet little revolver but it seems the sights are regulated for factory .357 rounds, not light .38 loads. I was looking for a Ruger BH when I found this SAA clone, guess I'm back to looking for a Ruger if I want to plink with a SA revolver using light .38 loads.

I use the RCBS 230 CM for all my light loads as well as my 45acp loads. Only downside is the double cavity. Would love a four or six cavity mold.
It shoots well out of all my guns.

Over the holidays I ordered a NOE 45-230tl in 3 cavity. Have a bunch cast and lube with all, ready to load. I think this will be the ticket in my Ruger BH. You can get it in 4 cavity, hard to beat a NOE mold! hc18flyer
