Recently got this 45 Colt 5 shot Tracker as part of a trade. Have never heard of this model, and I’d appreciate opinions from actual owners. I know it’s not as strong as my 45 Colt Rugers, and don’t expect it to be. I’ll be using it for a lightweight woods carry gun, and standard 45 Colt loads ain’t no joke.
I believe the +p loads would be no fun in this lightweight anyway.
Definitely was the polymer tip that stopped things up. I’ve got a bunch of the 225’s for my 450 Bushmaster, and was hoping they’d work in the Taurus. I loaded up some Ruger only loads using the FTX for my Blackhawk and Redhawk, and they’ll blow a gallon jug of water to pieces!
So far, I’ve only loaded the FTX with the Hodgdon Ruger only load data. Hodgdon had no trim instructions, and they fit with room to spare in the Ruger cylinders. The Taurus cylinder is much shorter though. I’ve got a good supply of powder coated lead bullets that I’ll use for the Taurus. Thanks for the info!
You're welcome. I figured the Rugers had longer throats by reading your post. Not to get off topic, how's that 225 shoot in your Bushmaster? I shoot the 250s, but have yet to load for it. They give me 2 boxes when I bought the rifle
40 grains Lil Gun, 225 FTX, Hornady brass, and CCI 450 primer give me 2350 FPS from my 16” 450 AR, and moa or better if I do my part. My 20” Mossberg bolt gun does one ragged hole and 2460 FPS with the same load.
Galco holster for my GP100 fits my Tracker very well. I’d imagine a S&W L frame holster would work also.
