.45 ACP test loads ready to go.

Post by fortyshooter » Thu Sep 10, 2020 10:13 am

So this test is to verify any velocity or accuracy differences using same powder and bullet but with Standard or Mangum type primers.
On left 25 rounds of 230 gr. Xtreme Bullet with 5.5 gr. of Unique and CCI 350 Mag primers and also 23 rounds of same bullet but with 6.0 of Unique and CCI 350 Mag primers.
Right box is 50 of my standard .45 ACP load using same bullet with 6.0 gr. Unique and WLP primers.

Test gun will be the Ruger Bisley NM Blackhawk .45 Colt/45 ACP revolver.

All I need is a break in this wet weather!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
