Are we ever going to be able to get the LPP again?

I load 8 gr of no 2 with 255 gr lswc. Walkalong measured it at around 830 fps. This is still standard pressure. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/standard-pressure-heavy-45-colt-question.868804/page-7#post-11529304 I would think 7 gr is bottom rung. 6 seems low.

I’ve always liked the FN HP DAO https://hipowersandhandguns.com/FN%20DAO%20Hi%20Power.htm https://www.gunblast.com/RKCampbell_FN-HP-DAO.htm

To me 9mm makes sense in a 3” 1911 With the officers grip. If I can carry the full size grip 4.25” I just shoot .45. check out a colt defender 9mm for a nice 1911 In 9mm.

I only like the 7.5” with the bisley grip for some reason. I like 4 5/8” barreled plow handles.

Savage 99 .358 is what you seek

I got 357 and 44 ruger marlins for ~$900 shipped. The 30-30 is the problem.

Well, I’m confusing something- someone has had a statement about USA powders only; is it Hornady?

Lyman shows their bullets/moulds in my manual. And doesn’t show AA powder. I like the powder manu data; some of the older ones like Accurate Number One are fantastic. They tend to show loads for more/most powders rather than the same few favorites over and over.

you can find a shooter for $1500

Am I the only one that falls into the “just Buy a Colt and shoot it!” Camp?

Black powder must be the answer!

In a SAA clone, I’d switch to #2. the loads will be low case fill but it’s not position sensitive at all. Low flash. Good burn. All good. Just the danger of double charge if you don’t pay attention.

That seems odd to me; are you extremely confident in the data? my blackhawks are only 4 5/8.
