Reloading the 45 Colt: Ruger Single Action

[cholgeirson]

I've loaded 45 colt for many years and have developed 3 loads. Unique or universal with a 250 gr cast bullet 900 to 950 fps very much like original loads. 2400 with a 250 or 265 gr cast bullet mimics 44 magnum. When I want some zip H 110 with 300 to 325 gr cast gas checked. 1300 + fps from 7 1/2 inch barrel. In my opinion handloading the 45 colt makes it one of the most versatile handgun cartridges available. Enjoy

6.0 of Red Dot for great plinking/target loads with 250 gr. bullets.

I don't see anything about H-110 or Universal in that article.

May have to get a digital subscription or physical copy of it. They don't put the full publication online. I think the link takes you to the q/a section with B.P. Should be more data in the petloads section. If not, forgive my memory.
