I'm going to start with the 6" by cutting it back to 4 3/4" for packability and get a load worked up for the 7 1/2" that doesn't have fully adjustable sights with a red dot for longer range with the 300 aframe. I would like to shoot a 250-275 gr in the short gun at 1200fps. For those of you who cast your own bullets, what is your favorite mold?


I will PM you later with some info.
I DO NOT cast... The 335gr I mentioned earlier are a fave in the 45Colt (Ruger Only)
I run them in my 4 3/4 Bisley and get 1200FPS
I have shot them in my FA since I have a 45 cyl but why ?
I have had several good results with the Barnes.


The 335 grain that is shot in my BFR at 1700fps would be extremely uncomfortable in a 4 3/4" gun and totally unnecessary for 50yd hogs and deer. I don't really want to spend the money on a cylinder when I can just dedicate the short gun to either 45colt brass or 45 Colt loads in casull brass. I have 1k piec s of starline brass coming so I will probably just use light casull loads.
