    New winchester with new loads

    I decided to take my Winchester Deluxe 1892 45 colt out for some exercise. I also had some new loads to play with.

    These were shot using the factory irons at 40 yards. I also came realize that my eyes do not like these irons might time to upgrade. These were fired from a kneeling position so I probably couldve improved the accuracy with a more stable platform.

    The 3 white marked shots were Freedom Munitions 255 FMJ-FP, very disappointing for $1/rd

    The orange were handloaded Berry 230 Hybrid Hollowpoints sized .452 with 12 grains of Accurate #5 (max standard load)
    Recoil was very mild.

    The red are Rimrock Bullets 255 grain LRN-FP sized .452 with 7.5 grains of Titegroup. Again, mild recoil.

    The blue were my favorite. These are handloaded 300 grain XTPs, sized .452 with 19 grains of Lil Gun. The recoil was easily on par or slightly stouter than 30-30. This is a +P load.

    None of the brass showed any pressure signs. No sticky extraction

    Red, yellow, blue-- all good. Nice shooting, and both reloadable and repeatable. What's not to like?

    I've found that to be a pattern with most of their loads.
