Guys,
I'm needing some of your alls input on loading the Hornady 200grain FTX in the 45 Colt for my Legacy Arms M-92 Puma.I'm wanting to propell this bullet with H-110,Lil'Gun,W-296,IMR-4227,2400 or whatever you all would think would be a good starting load with any of the above mentioned powders.The 200 grain FTX has 2 cannelures,I'll be crimping in the top one so oal of this round can double in my Blackhawk.Any thoughts suggestions would be appreciated.Do you think I could use another manufacturer's data as a starting point with another 200 grain bullet?Thanks in advance!

Isn't that bullet designed for .460 velocities? Not that it wouldn't work in a .45, but would the expansion be what you want?

buck,
you are correct the 200 is loaded in the 460 S&W,but it's a SST.
My supplier I ordered from only had the 200 and 250FTX.I was going to go with the 250 but it's designed for the .450Bushmaster(no cannelure),the 200 has cannelures.Hornady offers in their factory loaded ammo a 225 FTX in the Colt but not in componet form that I'm aware of.
I figure the 200 grain FTX will offer me great accuracy,energy,penetration and expansion out of my carbine and revolver.I also think it will be very effective on whitetail out to 100 yards from the carbine.I'm going to keep researching before I set down at the bench and start load developement.But thank you for the reply and if anyone can think of any starting loads,I'll greatly appreciate it.
