i finally replenished my aliant 2400 powder. i wanted to make some more 45colt plus p rounds for my ruger redhawk model 50/50. now typically what i would use was 20 grains of 2400 and a 230 grain bullet. but i vaguely rememebr a friend of mine telling me that he read my specific gun (which i guess can handle up to 50,000 psi) can handle a steady diet of 25 grains without any issues. i can't remember which friend, i know i met them on a facebook reloading group page. but i wanted to run it by the older and wiser reloaders on here. how hot could i load 250 grain copper plated flat nose with 2400?
two uses for these rounds for me, one, i am a recoil junkie. and two, its good to have large game defensive ammunition laying around.
in case of bear attacks. or to kill a car
