Here ya go.....45 Colt

I'll take it! PM on the way

Thanks guys, I only load jacketed bullets...For me they just work. I load Berry's jacketed for plinking, target shooting and fun, Speer and Hornady for hunting. My jacketed rounds are pretty accurate (probably more that I am) out of my gun and I just don't see the need to switch to cast. Plus...

Congrats Jayhawk!! That's a fine looking buck. I hope I'm not out of line but I also killed a buck this year with a SBH Hunter in 45Colt and I'd like to add to your thread. I loaded up some Speer 300gr JSP with 22.2gr of H110. I shot this 7 point at 50yds slightly quartering to me. The bullet...

What a fantastic rifle, I love the engraving!! As for the "brittle Receivers" there is no way to tell which ones are bad. It was the way they were heat treated that was the problem. They"eyeballed" and relied on the color of the heated metal to determine if the steel had been heated to the...

Snake, That actually is one of my "go to" hunting rifles. It came to me with a plug in the end of the barrel but the chamber and everything else was unmolested. I figured I'd cut it down to 19in and make a handy hunting rifle out of it. I used a stock that I found at a gun show for $30.00 and...

Very nice!! I love the scope...."old school" I've got a few Springfield sporters to show....All of them (except the Mauser) have their original USGI barrels. 1903-A3 in 30.06 1903-A3 in 30.06 1903-A3 in 300 Win Mag 1903 in 30.06 A few "non sporters" for good measure.. Not a...

Exactly! Right or wrong, everybody knows what you're talking about when you say ".45 Long Colt"....I prefer ".45 Colt" but that's me. I also have no problem with +P+ as that's also a term used when describing extreme high pressure top end +P ammo.....

There may not be a +P+ 44mag but when companies use that term, it tends to get spread out there as actual terminology. :wink: Straight from Buffalo Bore Ammunition's web site: http://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=9

I've loaded some .45 Colt with Berry bullets over a good dose of HS6 and push them 1,000 - 1,100 with no problem what so ever. They are accurate and my "go to" bullet for plinking and target practice....great product IMHO.

Very nice! Love them old Winchesters....

I currently reload 4 different loads for .45 Colt, 3 for .44Mag and 2 (light game and heavy game) for .308 Winchester Those are the only three I load so far but I'm looking into reloading 9mm

Yep, it's off and that would bug me too but I'm OCD that way LOL! Your assumption is correct, Ruger will most certainly replace the barrel. I have a Super Blackhawk (stainless steel) that the front sight assembly blew off under recoil. It was sent to ruger where I thought they would simply...

Jimbo posted those pics before when I was having issues with case slivers while crimping. The problem ended up not being the crimp but the type of brass I was using an the fact that it was brand new never fired brass. That said, it was his pics that I used as a guide for how much crimp I used...

I'll take this....PM sent
