An evening well-spent
« on: June 04, 2021, 10:17:24 PM »
Spent tonight scratching the BPCR itch...loaded up 50 rounds of .45 Colt BPCR ammunition using 35 gr of Graf's 3F powder behind a 250gr bullet.

That will work. Recoil should be noticeable.

Excellent load Capt. That's my go-to loading for my .45's.

Yep, that is a good start! Now, get rolling those 45-70s out. Listen to me talk...I need to do those very things myself. L@J

These are the Hunter's Supply bullets from MidwayUSA...pre-lubed with a lube which according to Midway, will work with either black powder or smokeless.

Hawg, recoil was "noticeable" but very manageable. And quite accurate at 25 yards as well.
