I aquired a couple 100 45 Schofield brass cheap enough that I figured I could run it in the Ross-chester 92' and get about the same throttle as the Colts in the BH and have some plinking loads just to stay current. I may load some w/BP as well just for the thrill.
I have a 45-200 SWC RCBS,452-252 SWC and 452-255 RNFP. Load data seems to lean toward 6gr of Unique w/230-250s. All of mine drop heavy 205,262,265 resectively.
I'm thinking about 1 of the cowboy moulds and there is an ACP in my future . So based on the wealth here would you go 165/185 rnfp or the 225-230 rnfp or something else ? I don't need a heavier bullet the 252 will plow ribs and 18+'' of hog out of the 92' at 50yd and 3 ft at 5yd. With the above I want to stay w/the RNFP . As far as use goes I don't expect over 400 lbs of black/Ca brown bear ,casual paper slaying and the occasional misguided rabbit. To hunt big game the Schofeild is too short and the Colts don't make the rifle cut in Nv. If I were actually expecting an encouter I would defer to the established hunting loads or Personal Defense ammo.
I think thats about all ..... the 92' is 16'' and Darrs Lube has worked well so far.
