RON K: WHAT BARREL LENGTH ON THAT NF? ARE YOU SET UP FOR RELOADING, AND RELOADING FOR THE 45 COLT? DEPENDING ON THE BARREL LENGTH, IN COLT SAA REVOLVERS, 1,000fps WITH 250-260gr BULLETS IS DOABLE. PAGE 120 OF DAVE SCOVILL'S BOOK "COLT'S SINGLE ACTION ARMY - LOADING AND SHOOTING THE PEACEMAKER" HAS A GOOD CHART ON LOADS, AND "TAFFIN TESTS" ON THE INTERNET HAS GOOD INFO ON SAA LOADS. IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT COLT's SAA AND THE 45 COLT, I RECOMMEND YOU GET SCOVILL's BOOK. AT 1,000fps AND UNDER I WOULD ONLY RELY ON GOOD CAST BULLETS, AND PROBABLY NONE THAT ARE HP'ed. FOR FACTORY AMMO FOR YOUR NF 45 COLT, BUFFALO BORE MAY BE YOUR BEST BET.

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
