I know posted to death several times.
I've read lots here about double and triple ball loads in 38/357 even in 410s. There's even proofed load data for the above. 45 Colts not to much , there's not hardly even full wad cutter data.
So after wieghing and comparing and tinkering and measuring every thing about as many ways as you can w/o actually assembling parts ,I leaped .
Remmy cases
CCI LP priming
5.0 Unique
4 000B
Darrs lube
Wait . What ? 3 ought is only 360 ,45 is at least 450 ,at'll rattle like a bb in box car.
During my recent move I found some aviation tools I'd nearly forgotten. A rivet squeezer is a pretty cool tool . It let me swell the dia from 360 as cast to 455 x170 and do it very consistantly over and over. W/o a wad cutter seater getting 4 of those lil'suckers in the case was fun but not too much. the 1st 1 would press in by hand smear a little Darrs around the bell and the disk/ball curve and press the 2nd,3rd,4th in w/a piece of flat stock and a smear of lube in between.
Stats,
No leading in the RBH w/its 454 throats and 451 bore.
Some unburnt powder.
640fps w/a hi of 658 and a low 600 for 10.
Shot for shot put 1 about at hold 2 about an inch apart and 1 off all by itself strung vertically about 8".
Just for fun really ,not that I'd care to be on the business end of a 68gr 600fps 45 cal boolit much less 4 . They did punch right through 7/16 masonite.
