    A couple of very good reads on heavy 45 Colt loading and Rugers. I have hard copies from a subscription, I go back and reread them when thinking about what loads I want to try next. Worth it to pay the back issue price IMHO. PDFs are still out there if you look around, I'd share links but I think it's against forums rules.
    See now the two magazine you listed would be a good buy even at $10 each.

    I want to find more information like this just about the 45 LC. As I said these hot rounds are only going to be used every so often keep skill up using heavy rounds with high recoil and if I ever need them for a hog.

    Mostly going to shoot for fun the Lee 452 255 gr that I just received it does cast more to 260 gr but that's also fine. I also feel that the 260 gr would be a nice light SD round on hogs.

    A 300 grain bullet at 800 fps will not slow down very much as it travels through the length of a hog. No need to worry about achieving the maximum velocity possible.
    Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.

    Deer and hogs go down easy with the Lee 255 RNFP. Only two hogs with a pistol, but with I’ve dropped several hogs and deer using that bullet in my Winchester. Even took a deer with in loaded in a sabot with my muzzle loader. Each year, I have a buddy that comes by to get a handful for muzzle loader season. Doesn’t want to use anything else

    I found this sight the other day while goofing around . A lot of standard pressure data in the powder manufactures section.

    There is plenty of data for both levels of 45 Colt. If one looks.

    You are right , I didn't look close enough. A lot of data for really light bullets to.
