Hi guys, as some of you know my favorite cartridges are the 45 Colt and 44 Special. So far all my loads have been low pressure cowboy loads on up to standard 14,000psi loads. I wanna work up some beefier loads, but not the super duty H110/Win296 type stuff. I have been looking for 2400 because I heard it downloads well and can be very accurate.
Trouble is I can't find any. My local guy does have Accurate #9 though. I was looking over the Accurate +P load data for 45 Colt and found they have a section that's limited to 20,000psi. That seems exactly what I was looking for, thing is I have never used #9 and haven't heard much about it. I hear all kinds of praise for the 2400 but Nada about #9. Anybody out there use it?
Let me point out I don't care which one is more powerful. Don't care at all about that, if outright power was my goal I would be looking at other powders. I want decent accuracy, flexibility over a range of pressures / bullet weights (200 to 250 for the 44, 250 to 310 for the 45) and clean shooting would be nice.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts / opinions![]()
