Bullets for .45 caliber in-line
« on: December 05, 2005, 11:33:49 AM »
What would be a good all-purpose bullet for a .45 caliber, 209, 1:28 twist, 26 inch barrelled in-line for both accuracy and performance on game up to elk?  I am partial to heavy bullets.

The best recommendation I could suggest is try some of the heavier bullets. Not all barrels shoot alike. What works for me may not work for you.  :D

Are you sure on the twist rate on that rifle? Most use a afster twist if memory serves me correctly. My Knight shoots 150 gr 777 pellets and a 195 grain red hot very well. Dropped 3 deer dead in there tracks, one at 200 yards.

Look at the 460gr .45 cal bullet here http://www.muzzleloading-bullets.com/

Check the hunting regs as .45 cal ML rifles are not legal for Elk in some states.
