I started loading 45's about a year ago. I'm a beginner. Anyway, I have enjoyed shooting them in my 45 blackhawk..4.5/8 barrel. But! The brass is really sooted and burned and I am looking for a way to not have this happen. I understand that because of the enormous size of the brass, this happens easily. Thant he brass does not expant to the chamber so you get blow bye, or blow back which dramatically soots the shell.
Got any advice to shorten my learning curve...have used light loads with Trail boss, unique 8 grs. and some red dot..all undre 250 255 gr. of lead round flat points.
I appreciate any advice you may have. The guy writing about 45's did not think they were as good as 44's for that reason (I like 44's too).
I was thinking of getting the Ruger redhawk 45 and selling my redhawk 44 mag...now I am not so sure!
