Yesterday I received my bond arms roughneck in 45 acp. While as a last ditch, get off me weapon my full house loads would be fine. Pleasurable to shoot they are not.
I’ve run some .454 round balls through a .452 sizer and lubed with LLA. Clays is the fastest powder I have on hand.
Not sure where to start. 3 gr?
Also, if you were going to kill a snake with this gun at 10’ I am probably going to need a lot of cartridges. I am going to play with a card wad over the powder, enough 7-1/2 shot to get to the bottom of the round ball.
I’ll probably end up with a 410 barrel at some point but wanted to play around a bit first.
Comments, concerns, suggestions, all are welcome.
Thanks, Woody
