My Personal Best
My Personal Best
I just got a Ruger Vaquero 45 ACP Birds Head used about a month ago. After trying to get a reload to work, I found one in the Lee manual, so today I took my revolver and my semi Dan Wesson out to my range and this was the results shooting the semi first about a box of reloads and then Shooting my Ruger. It’s the best I’ve ever done with either gun.

Re: My Personal Best
Great shooting and that type of accuracy out of a Dan Wesson 45 acp doesn't surprise me at all they are fine semi autos. I have shot one a time or two.

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.......

Re: My Personal Best
Great shooting with both! I once had a Ruger BH in 45 ACP and did okay with it. Haven't tried Red Dot in that caliber yet but it works very well in 45 Colt too!

Re: My Personal Best
Excellent shooting. Love offhand shooting, so I know what it requires. Yeah, DW 1911s are fine 1911s, but I've also had a Blackhawk convertible in 45 and loved shooting 45 auto in it.

Forty shooter The reason I used Red dot as I have a four pound can and wanted ro use it up. I find that it doesn’t meter as well as some of the other powders but it was cheap when I bought it for shotgun reloading.

Re: My Personal Best
I try and shoot about 4 or 5 times a week so I guess it’s paying off. I don’t go to shooting ranges as I have a severe hearing problem and am Bilateral implanted with Cochlear units. Needless to say I am deaf when I take them off so it’s best that I shoot by myself. Thank all of you for your comments

Re: My Personal Best
Nice shootin Carver, like forty, I've never tried the RD in 45 acp, but I do shoot quite a bit through the 45 Colts.
Mind if I ask about the load?
I have a BH convertible in 45.

Vaquero
The load that I found in the Lee manual
RD 4.0 to 4.5. Grains OAL 1.190. I found that the shorter length worked in my 45 ACP Vaquero and I have a lot of Red Dot.
