I hear these things are good to about 22,000 cup.

13.0gr of HS-6 under a 250-280gr cast boolit for around 1050-1100 fps. First one I know off the top of my head(and it is a dandy!).

Rumors are 22,000 is about right You must be the judge of that. I know of a shooter that runs that through his COLT SAA in 45 with no ill effects for a good 25 years, So ?

Here is a partial issue of Handloader - look at the "Contents" for the article on the RCBS 45-270-SAA and there is a chart of loads at the 20,000 psi level that should give you the information you desire:

Here's some John Taffin loads. Looks like he goes up to 9 grains of Unique with Colt SAA and similar revolvers.

The Hunters Supply 275gr WFN over 17.0gr 2400 is extremely accurate out of my New Frontier.

255SWC and 13.0gr of HS-6 one raged hole....or even 11.6gr of HS-6 with a 255gr SWC shoots great too!
WHOA, my gun its NOT a flat top frame though, I forgot about that.

My first handgun deer was with a 44 mag and I was hooked. The next year, I had my 45 Blackhawk ready. I can't remember why, but I had loaded Cast Performance 265 WFNGC over 20.0gr of IMR-4227(probably because I also used it in my smokeless muzzleloader along with Lilgun). I managed to take 2 deer with that load that year. Neither ran out of sight, but both were less than 40 yard shots. And low and behold, that load is a lowly "Colt Safe" load per the article mentioned above. And here I am a couple of years later trying HP's, 475's, ect, to keep them from running out of sight.
Maybe I need to take that mid frame 45 that belonged to my friend and the rest of that box of 45's to the range and then to the woods and see if they still work like they did back then.

yeah I like 15gr of IMR 4227 and the 335gr LFNGC , accurate, decent powder density for a manageable recoil and dang hard thumping accurate load I would be comfortable stopping hardcore vermin critters with

I think we would all like to see some pics of your NM FT. Please post some, when you have the opportunity.

I'm guessing it'll take more than a Springfield 1911 to get that one. Wink wink.

A little boot anyway.....
How is that 45 working out for you anyway?

Awesome so far. I have only run about 100 ers through so far, buy I am about to order some reloading stuff. It did great at 100 yds and 40 yds! I love it!

Doing better than me. I haven't fired a round through the 1911 yet. Just wiped it down and stuck it in the safe.
