Thanks be to Quick
« on: November 08, 2009, 10:35:57 AM »
For the tip on using Lil Gun in the .45 Colt. The little carbine shoots tighter groups and Lil Gun isn't nearly as dirty as the 296 I was using. I'm shooting 27.4 grains behind a 240gr. XTP mag, any guesses as to what the velocity would be. Thanks again, Tom

Congrats, I'd say around 1950-2000fps since I get 1925fps with 250gr bullets and 26.5gr.  ;)

Thanks for the info, I'm going to buy some powder soon to load some 200 grain FTX bullets. I was going to get some IMR-4227 (the local gun store stocks it) but maybe I'll look for some Lil'Gun instead.
