Howdy
As stated in another thread, have been playing with low dose Titegroup loads in .38, .357, 9mm, .45 acp, .44 spl., .44 mag, and .45 Colt.
Because of multiple right hand medical problems and major surgery to right hand (not carpal tunnel or arthritis), I am more sensitive to handgun recoil.
This past week, I ran .45 Colt with 4.8 gr. Titegroup and 230 gr. cast.........100 rounds. Still has too much bark for my hand in light-barrel 625-7 Mountain Gun.
Going to now drop down to 4.5 grains with either 230 or 200 grainers in .45 Colt during my next bench session and I feel they should cough-up nicely with even less recoil.
(I currently use only 4.6 gr in .44 Mag with 200 gr. cast and 4.1 gr. in .44 special w/ 200 cast they are both spitting out the tube in fine style.)
I see no problems with the light powder charge position in anything so far.
Any opinions or experience with 4.5 grains or less in .45 Colt?
THANKS in advance, Bo in NC
