I took one rifle and my two Ruger single actions up to my range today for some shooting.
I shot my Lipsey's Bisley .44 Special 5.5" with two loads. One was a HSM factory load with cast 200 RNFP and the other was also an HSM load but with a 240 JHP. I didn't chrono them so am not sure how fast either was moving. Both shot pretty well for no better than I see the sights these days. I shot about 30 rounds I believe in this gun and now have it hitting pretty much where I'm aiming with the 240 JHP. The cast 200 hits way low in relation to the 240s.
I also shot ten rounds thru my Blackhawk .45 Colt. I'm not sure what the load was as I need to do some searching thru my reloading log to determine. All I know for sure is the bullet is a JHP either a Hornady XTP or Nosler and I need to compare them to be sure which. I know the powder was 2400 due to the typical residue it leaves. Just how much of it is what I need to know cuz it shot real well.
My best group of the day was five shots at 25 yards in 2.9" with four of them in 1.75". I really don't think I can do much better if any better with irons anymore. Who knows tho if I keep shooting it might come back to me.
