Lar45, I am heading to the range tomorrow for another ladder test. This time it will be with the Montana Bullet works 350 WFNGC at 22,23,24,and 24.5 grains of A2400. My starting point a few weeks...

Lar45, that is exactly what I was hoping someone would provide. Much much appreciated sir!

Have a BFR 500 JRH on the way. Plan is to have Accurate cut a 325 grain gas check mold for a BIG meplat that I can run with 16 BHN Hardball. Penetration deep enough to get through pigs easily but...

Appreciate all the responses guys. I have my mold spec’ed out and designed but I have not heard back from any of the 6 (yes 6) mold companies that I submitted my design to. The design is a 270-280...

Appreciate the responses and PMs. Right now I’m contemplating what to do about 475 loads so I haven’t decided on a direction yet. At this point I was just wondering if anyone offered that as a...

Lets say I want a specific bullet that is not available on the market currently but the mold is available for purchase from someone like Accurate Molds.

Maybe a dumb question... Can I buy the...

Really good info here, much appreciated. Yeah i was surprised when i shot my deer how little blood there was. The hide had a .45ish sized hole but the front quarter was over an inch. Im guessing...

The mechanical broadhead analogy is an interesting one and makes a lot of sense to me.

Cherokee, appreciate the insights and wisdom. Sounds like you might hunt out toward my neck of the woods, where abouts?

I have been looking hard at those Swift A Frames but can’t find any in 265...

Lucky enough to knock down a cull buck this evening. Shot was 24 yards, he ran about 15 yards and I heard him drop. The wound in the front quarter was big enough to stick my...

I love this forum because everyone is very polite, very knowledgeable, and genuinely looking to help people out with their journey. Much appreciated.

As a bow hunter my brain is hard-wired to...

Appreciate the opinions and feedback. This forum is a great resource.

great info, very helpful. thank you

I know this topic is a dead horse that has been thoroughly beaten but I do have some questions that I could not find answers to.

I am strictly interested in the hunting performance on game aspect,...

Going to send in my FA83 to get the barrel switched out from a 6" to a 10". For typical Tier II 45 colt loads, is 2400 still a good powder to use or should I go with a slower burn rate? Will the...

appreciate the help! good suggestions, thanks!

Yeah that’s was kinda my question too

Has anyone ever done this with the RCBS Dies? I have some Wadcutter and OWC bullets with meplats that do not fit inside of the normal 45 colt seating stem.

1) Will I have an issue loading...

Really appreciate the responses and feedback from you guys. I think I am going to work up to 17-18 grains of 2400 on my next batch. I have some of Matt’s Bullets in 250 grain full wadcutter and the...

I have been bitten by the bug for sure. What a great sport. I’m a long time Bowhunter and love getting close to animals. Out here in west Texas the terrain is more conducive to handguns than bows....

Yeah I had the same question. All this talk of deep penetration and large wound channels from large meplats… not from what I saw. You can see the entrance wound in the first picture. .452 caliber...

New to reloading and haven’t had much experience with handgun hunting but this morning it all came together. Freedom Arms 454 Casull loaded with 45 colt brass, 16 grains of...

Appreciate the responses. I was playing around with it today (unloaded!) and came up with a solution similar (same?) as the one mentioned above.

1) fully cock revolver
2) let off trigger and...

Thanks for the feedback. Surely someone with an FA83 has had the same question

I have a great load worked up in my 6” model 83 (16 grains 2400 behind WFNGC). Went to the woods last night and had a hog at 10yards. Cocked the hammer and he jumped out of his skin and took off. ...
