Heavy crimp.
Good load! One of my most accurate. Recoil surprisingly mild - a nice "thumper" load.
Tends to shoot high - muzzle jump.
Great for metal plate targets!SUBMITTED ON 01 Jan 2009 SUBMITTED BY JackOfTradeZ Published on 10-23-2014 05:30 PM Number of Views: 22647LOAD DETAILS

FIREARM PISTOL LEAD TYPE Hardcast SSK, Penn CALIBER TYPE 45 Colt RATING 0 LEAD SIZE 300 POWDER TYPE IMR-4227 POWDER AMOUNT 18.5 gr. PRIMER WLP BRASS Starline BARREL LENGTH 7.5 F.P.S 930 GROUP SIZE 1 OVERALL LENGTH 1.60 GUN DETAILS Ruger Redhawk; double action, 7.5" barell. OTHER DESCRIPTION It is difficult getting good subsonic loads with heavy bullets in 45C. But this one nails it - VERY consistent and accurate. Nowhere near max, but use ONLY in strong guns like Ruger and TC! This fills the case about 80%, 1.4cc powder. I am investigating heavier bullets and other powders, will post here when get good loads.
