Hey all,
Tinkering with some 454 casull loads that are more than 45 colt but less than the ruger only 45 loads. Use is plinking mainly but ideally a 250-300 grain HC @ 1000-1200 fps. I have a trailboss load (250 rnfp over 9 grains of trailboss- taken from hodgdons website) that shoots well and is considered a max trailboss charge in a 454 case. I haven't chronographed these but hodgdon claims about 1000 fps for this load, feels very light and hits a bit higher than my sights are regulated for and I don't want to adjust them as they're dead on for my 360 grain load. Wanted to know if anyone has a recommendation on a load that I can get about 1200 fps out of with the 250 grain HC RNFP plain base bullets I like using. Usually only use h110 in this caliber or trailboss, I have unique, 2400, clays,titegroup, and a couple others on hand for possibilities but I'm not opposed to trying something new either.Any thoughts? Thanks.
