45 Colt with the Lyman Keith type 255 grain SWC and 9.5 G of Unique from 4 5/8 Ruger Blackhawk.
This load is the most accurate in this revolver. Looking at charts it should give a little over 900 fps although I haven't chronographed it so I'm not really sure.
Do you think this load is enough for Whitetail and Black Bear at no more than 50 yards max. I think it is, but would appreciate an opinion...Thanks JJ
I should have added the bullet has a Brinell hardness of 15, normal lube and a firm crimp.
What is your favorite 45 Colt pistol load for deer?
