I’ve posted concerning my Uberti .45 Colt. I would like to get an opinion about two bullets and two loads.
Rifle: Uberti 1885 .45 Colt, 30 inch barrel, heavy octagon.
Bullets: I have Nosler partition .45 caliber, JPP, .451 diameter. The box says these are recommended for magnum loads. I also have Hornady XTP MAG, .45 cal., .452 diameter.
Powders: H-110, 22 gn; and IMR 4227, 19 gn.
My first concern is that both of these bullets are recommended for “magnum” loads. I think that means they have a heavier copper sheathing. Is there any reason I cannot use these bullets in a rifle with these loads?
My second concern is whether there is any problem using these “Ruger only” loads in the rifle, and with these bullets.
The powder/wt are taken from the Hornady and Speer manuals, Ruger only. But neither recommended the “magnum” bullets. However, these were the 300 gn bullets which my LGS had in stock.
Thank you for any help.
