I'll try these in the Pietta and Henry. What about 5.0-5,5gr Red Dot in the Pietta?

Never got around to trying the 250's in the Cimarron, I know 6.5 with the 200's shot well in the Rossi and Marlin.
I will say in my initial testing of the Cimarron that 8.0 grs of Unique grouped much better than 6.0 grs RD with the 200 gr.

Did the prep work on the .45 Colt cases I emptied in the desert, now I'm going to load 6.0gr Red Dot under a 250gr rnfp coated bullet from T & B.
Forty, if you read this, I saw your reply on previous page; not sure why I didn't answer, but, I'm trying that load. Looking forward to giving these a go.

Think you will like it! Here is a .45 Colt load using Speer 230 gr. LRN I was testing for my Remington 1858 when using conversion cylinder.
The test revolver was my Ruger BH Bisley and makes a nice mess out of a paper plate from 8 yds.

Loaded up a test bunch of 44 Special using the MB 200 gr. Cowboy bullet RNFP with 5 gr. of Red Dot. These for use in my 1871 OT 44 revolver.

Randy, I don't know much about the 6.5 CM, what powder is prefered for it? Sounds like a fun project coming up.

Whoops! Forgot to mention, loaded up 20 rounds of .45 Colt with 6.0gr Red Dot/250gr rnfp bullet, coated. And 25 .45 acp with 5.0gr Red Dot/230gr LRN and 25 with 4.8gr RD, same bullet. Hopefully, desert shoot next week. Think I'll take my 1911 out this time. It's due.
