Interesting .45 Colt bullet/load I came up with..

Took some hardcast 250 gr. lead flat nose bullets and faced off the nose to a 230 gr. weight which gives a very nice
sharp corner .385 diameter flat nose or Hammerhead I call it. They will feed fine in my Rossi Ranch Hand and my 1873 Uberti /Winchester
and also made a great round for revolvers.
I load them with 8.6 gr. of Unique for 880-900 FPS out of my 3.5 inch barrel Uberti/Colt six shooter.

That's a good looking functional round.
