45 colt in the back yard.

Cheap redneck sight.

Good shooting, nice to shoot in your yard.

Nice testing Randy. It's very clear each rifle had it's preferred load. Any idea what kind of velocity you're getting with those loads? Or at least what the book says you should be getting.

I don't own a chrono, but according to the Hornady manual.

And a noticeable difference in recoil compared to the cast that I usually shoot.

I posted these results else where and two different people said they had good results with 18.5 grs. of 2400.
So me, I loaded 10 and tried 'em.
In the Rossi first and third in the orange.
With the Marlin first second touched, the far left was operator error, knew when I pulled the trigger.

That Marlin seems to like 2400. 19.8gr looks pretty good.

Someone should fire operator error he’s always just a nuisance

[Headhog]

Thanks Randy. That big ole 250 gr. bullet is moving along. Being jacketed allows you to push that faster than cast lead. I tried pushing some 250 gr. cast bullets, but about the fastest I could get was 1080 fps.

Paul, I mostly shoot cast and enjoy them a lot., I was just playin with these jacketed pills.
I don't push the cast to fast, just like a nice accurate load to bang the gongs around.
