conversion cylinder and will shoot the .44 cal. lead balls at a later date.
Loads were... 230 gr. soft lead Speer .452 bullets loaded over 5.5 gr. of Red Dot. Then same bullet loaded with 25.9 gr. of Alliant Black MZ
in .050 shorter Hornady .45 Colt cases. The reason for that was to arrive at my preferred seating depth and have powder just touching bottom of the shorter 230 gr. Speer bullet.
The Remmie shot really well and just a bit high so I adjusted my hold for that. Nice little group shown on target was the Red Dot load and that round is a very nice comfortable shooting load at the bottom of Cowboy Action load data for Red Dot.
The Black MZ load were really fun to shoot....loads of smoke and accurate too as you will see!
Then I heard a rustle in the brush and ol' Gunfighter Deadwood showed up trying to claim my turf !!
Well I had a fresh cylinder of Black MZ .45 loaded up and let him get within 20 ft. He was a bit late on his draw and showed him the smoking end of a
44 Remington! https://youtu.be/k6XX0yfgHII
What a way to end the day! A little Elmer's and saw dust and he will be patched up for more action!
