SBH 45 Hunter range report.

[Jayhawkhuntclub]

Well I took my 45 Hunter out this afternoon. I shot 3 - 3 shot groups at 100 yards using a 4 X Leupold. My worst group was 4 1/8". My best group was 2 1/8". And the overall spread of the 9 shots was 4 5/16" total. It is a real challenge, for me at least, to use a 4 power at that distance. Makes me wonder what I could do with a 7 or 8 power. Anyway, I was very pleased. I've had rifles that didn't shoot this well. This gun seems to love H110 and XTPs. Just wanted to share. :mrgreen:

Excellent! That's dead critter! I just got done reaming the throats on mine but haven't gotten to the range yet. I just got the 45 Colt Hunter a while back and have only shot it once at 25yds. I put a 2x28 on mine.

Here is my dead critter....

My 45 Colt SBH Hunter groups around 2" at 50 yards with the current load of a 300 gr. Saeco FP Gas Check over 22 gr. of H110. Got to love the 45 caliber! Handgun or long gun. It is my favorite.

Excellent thread guys, thanks for the report. 22 grs W296 under a sized down 457191 292 gr tested out well for me awhile ago. Gonna try the 330 Gould HP next.. :wink: Big bullets just seem to "go" with a .45 Ruger don't they?
