Hello again guys, have not had a chance to do much shooting due to stuff going on and difficulty of getting ammo etc .
I did manage to get 8 lbs of lil gun and 8 lbs of shooters world precision and 1lbs of auto pistol. Sadly wasnt able to get any small rifle primers.
If i can get around and a place to test I'll post how it went. Western powder seems to have decent reviews and cheaper/ easier to get than others.
Anyway i was wondering if anyone has loaded up any pistol loads for 450 bm? The auto pistol among others lists 45 cal loads. Since our rifles are stronger I was wondering if you could load up some 45 loads or 45+p and with the longer barrel get a bolt action pistol carbine?
If using 45 cal blems and pistol powder it could make for cheaper shooting. Using only max like 10-12 grains of powder (whatever the powder maker lists for 45) would sure stretch the number of loads per lb you get vs the 40s for lil gun and would be more pleasant to shoot.
My thought would be that the much bigger BM case size would cause peoblems as some powders go wonky if case has a lot of space. The other thought would be maybe using "The Load" 16 grns of red dot, which is what a lot of cast boolit guys use to launch lead out of old service rifles .
Has anyone tried this? So far all i have seen when searching is guys trying to launch super heavy full power loads but suppressed. I just want to launch 230-250 grn jacketed at plinking speeds for 100 yrs and under.
