45 Colt--14"bbl load data.
« on: January 03, 2010, 02:19:13 AM »
I jsut got a 14" bbl in 45 Colt.
I have bullets and powder for 45Colt for use in a Ruger BH. 4-5/8"
The bullets are Beartooth cast in 260grn and I have W296, W231, AA5, AA9, and H110.
I want to use this for hogs and deer up to 100yds. Bbl will be scoped.
I have a 44 Mag-14" and thought I would try the 45Colt.
Any ideas?

Coach, check the  Speer manuals,it lists loads with their 250 gn. swaged bullet and their 260 gn JHP. and they use several of the powders you have on hand
