     OTHER DESCRIPTION  
    Source of Load Shooting Colt Single Actions by Mike Venturino Page 102. In my Colt Ave.Vel. 1063, Low 1047, Hi 1084, ES 37, SD 13, Freq. 11. Gun and cases remain very clean after firing. Cases fall out of Colt without need of using ejector rod. Cylinder and barrel remain cool to touch after 50 rounds. Note that the use of a CCI 350 LPM primer lowers ES from 66 to 37 as opposed to using CCI LP 300 primer.
