45 Colt

[JeffreyDeGraff]

Looks like I never followed up with my 8.0gr unique with the 230gr rainier HP. I tried it in my bond arms derringer, Taurus judge 2.5” barrel, cimarron peacemaker, and Ruger SBH. It shot great out of all 4. I was impressed. The best part was that it is absolutely the most accurate 45 colt load I’ve ever shot out of the derringer.

I use 250 gr cast lead bullets and 5.5 gr of Trail Boss.

Ive used that same exact load for many years. Very accurate and low recoil.

I started with 5.8 grs of Trail Boss, then I backed down to 5.5 grs.

5.5gr is definitely the sweet spot for me.

What are you shooting out of? I shoot mine out of SAA's.

Nice!

This is my Uberti Remington, the other two are Colt models. I don't have any pictures of them yet. One of them has an extra cylinder for .45 ACP.
