While on vacation I picked up couple boxes of Hornady 250 gr. XTP bullets .452 diameter for Colt .45.
I want to load these for Heavy Colt use in my Alaskan .45/.454 2.5 inch barrel revolver.
Have loaded plenty of 250-315. gr. hardcast using 10.5 gr. of Unique and they work very well.
Should 10.5 gr. or 11 gr. work as well for these bullets?
Most load data I have for these uses other powders like 2400.
We were up in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. and visited Bud's Gun Shop and Smokey Mt. Knife Co. but found the better selection of reloading components at the BassPro Shop there. They had a good variety of
bullets for Colt .45!
