45cal knight worverine load?
« on: November 08, 2006, 04:06:28 AM »
I just bought a 45 cal worverine with a 26 inch contour barrel on close out.Can any one offer a starting point for load selection. Bullets,powder,loads,ect.

A 50 cal is all that I have ever shot,so I don't know if the 45 cal tends to like light or heavy bullets.

thanks
jake

I had an Encore in a 45 cal and it shot great with 100 gr. of triple 7 pellets and the 195 gr. Barnes Expanders. I took 3 deer with it while I hunted with it.  Mine did not like the heavy bullets.
