1.24 is what I load for my 1911s. However I have had some 1911s that needed 1.190. If I have a barrel like that nowadays it gets fixed or it goes on down the road Sent from my SM-A426U using Tapatalk

I could be misinformed but I believe the short barrel has to do with the bullets hp largely for the short barrel and less concerned about powder /_ velocity. In my experience the powder that gives you the best velocity for say a 6 inch barrel will also give the best velocity out of a shorter...

Just curious why you didn't open up the reloading book and look up the load yourself or visit hodgdons site. I've never understood why people can't do this for themselves Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

This bullet is designed to be shot out if the 1911 or any 45 acp. I have that mold and have shot thousands of them. Everyone had you chasing your tail but a very few. I can't tell you the overall length you need because I use my barrel as the gauge it keeps getting shorter until it fits...

That is exactly where I would start. You can access the western powder reloaded manual online. The earshot and accurate powders are very underrated Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

Are you seating and crimping in the same step. I have been using my own hi tek bullets for quite and have no problems. I have been seating and crimping for a long time so I've never had the problem you are having, good luck hi tek is a good product Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

When I got interested in casting I read everything I could find. Found the castboolts.com and read even more but was still on the fence. I finally looked at YouTube and got to see what I was reading and that's all it took. Because I wasn't sure if I'd like it I got started ad cheaply as I...

I can shoot those out of your gun for ya. That way by time I get done shooting we should know if they are safe Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

Sorry I mis spelled weigh Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

No the coating will way less than a equal bullet that has traditional lube. At least that been my experience Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

NOE molds out of Provo has 44 cal. Wadcutter molds. Also Tom at accurate molds.com has 44 cal wadcutter molds and he will cut you a mold to your specs. Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

I'm just curious at to why? As already stated I would think the pyrodex or black powder would have a much more satisfying boom. Then again I'm jealous I don't have my own cannon Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

You could send a bullet to Tom at accuratemolds.com and have him cut you a mold then you would never run out Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

I have several friends that just use tight group and the load they all prefer 3.5gr except for a few that use 4.2 they use those loads with a 200gr lswc Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk

For me the pros for tight group are cheaper than a lot of orhers,not position sensitive witch is important in the 44mag, meters very well, easy to find a accurate load, and 8 pounds should keep you shooting for at least a couple months. The downside for me is it burns hot very very hot and it...

The 45 special is designed for cap cylinders so you can roll crimp the bullets instead of using a taper crimp. The bonus of a roll crimp is to keep the bullets from pulling during recoil. I personally have had that happen enough that my cap cylinders never gets used. I for one will be ordering...

I had a 3 inch 629 when I was in my 20's. Back then I thought winchester 296 was the only powder made and the only bullet was a xtp 300gr hp. I'm glad I've got a tiny bit smarter but I really want another short 629 Sent from my SM-T377V using Tapatalk
