So I went to the range yesterday and tried my ROA with triple 7, BigLube 155 gr and 210 gr.
Shot so clean it isn't even funny. Accuracy was not bad. I started at 25gr of Triple 7 and 155 gr and went to 30gr (largest powder funnel I had). Then I switched to the 210gr bullet and 30gr of powder. Recoil was significant. Accuracy was OK..
Here's where it looks like this is maximum. I believe I could go 35gr with the 210 but I was experiencing bullet jump. Two of the bullets jumped out enough to jam the cylinder. I'll try it again and make absolutely sure I'm really putting pressure on my loader. But if they continue to jump. I guess that's the max.
The bullets were sized to .454 and had an excellent interference fit when I loaded them.
I would like to try 35gr of Triple 7 if the bullets would stay put.
