survivor 45/410
« on: December 19, 2005, 05:12:20 AM »
hey guys,  just thought i'd let you know that it IS possible to get good accuracy out of the 45/410 barrel on the survivor.  i just got a new reloader after the other one burned in a house fire. i was going to try 450 mongo, but am not experienced enough reloader and decided to stick with factory brass. i reloaded some ammo and @ 75 yds.  you can place a silver dollar over a 5 shot pattern.  this load is for TC/Ruger, but i am not having any problems with my NEF so far.  i tried many different loads and powders, and finally came up with a load that my rifle shoots amazingly accurate.  i also found that if i shoot my gun more than five times w/o giving the gun a rest for about 10-15 minutes, accuracy goes to the dogs (never had that problem with my .308.  guess the barrel on the 45/410 heats up faster). these loads shoot a 240 gr sierra LHC projectile at about 1490 fps by the book.  if you want the info,  let me know.
