Hello
I live in the peoples republic of California where i have been hog hunting for the past 30 years. Now it seems i have to use solid copper in the area I hunt in. I just ordered a box of Barnes XPB 225 gr. to use in a Marlin 94 cowboy chambered for .45 colt. I have used this rifle for the past 6 years with great success, loaded with 265 gr LBT cast bullets and H110. As im now forced to use copper only and these bullets are $19.00 bucks for a box of 20 + shipping, I cant afford to play around with different powders. I have found 5 loads on Loaddata.com and I do have 2400, H110, VV110, AA9, 4227 both kinds Unique and Blue dot. I am kind of hoping someone out there has had good results with any of the above and have a good charge weight that shot well for them to give me a good baseline. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
