Hello All,
I have an itch to buy a Ruger #1 in 450/400 Nitro 3", and have been having a hard time finding reloading data. Most of what I've found are loads with 400gr bullets at 2100+fps, a little more than I'm looking for. I've done a search here and turned up a few suggestions, but not a lot. I did email Western Powders for their load data for AA5744 which I have a bunch of, and they did send to me today. Anyone have any other favorite loads? I have a 411-230gr LFN mold from NOE a few years back that I would like to try but haven't seen much in the way of reduced loads (looking for 1500-1800fps range). Search also turned up a reference to Hornady #9 manual for load data - can anyone who has this manual confirm what data they have? I have Hornady #7 but it does not have 450/400 NE data.
My use would probably mostly be punching holes in paper, but I would love to take a pig or three with this round also.
