So I couldn't resist the classifieds and bought one of Acrylictnk's 45 Blackhawks. One with a 7 1/2 inch barrel. I did buy dies and some new brass, 45 colt seems to be cheaper than 41 magnum. That was Starline brass on Amazon.
I'm not asking for favorite loads but what is a good bullet weight to look for? I'm going to order some but tomorrow I'll go to the store and just buy a few to get started. Will a heavier bullet be more accurate than a lighter one? From what I've read 230 grains seems fairly common. Anyone have a favorite bullet weight for the 45?
I have been loading lead and powder coated bullets and seem to like those more than plated. I know I should cast my own, perhaps this fall...
