Wanted to work up a defensive load for big unruly critters. It is wild out here. Revolver is a Ruger Redhawk 5.5" Bbl. Bullet , my home cast, powdered coated 314gr PB. Cast from my scrap WW, BHN 10.5 according to my LBT tester. I started out with what was listed as a max load of 2400 powder, 16grs. Load felt a bit anemic. Loading manual showed only about 1000fps. Found I had some Accurate #9 powder. Their manual showed 18.5 grs ( CCI 300 primer ) with a 300gr cast at 1320fps. So, since my bullet is 314gr , I went with 18grs instead of the 18.5 listed. Right off you definitely felt the increase of power. Accuracy was spot on even for me. The powder coated bullet left the bore super clean . Will put this over my chrono at a latter date. Very satisfied.
