So last weekend I went down to my brothers house and used his press to load some 45LC for my Dakota Buntline just for grins.
The load went like this: 33gr 3f Goex, Ox-Yoke dry-lube wad and a .451 round ball.
The results: YIKES this stuff is FUN!!!
That little 140 grain RB has quite the kick to it with 33gr of powder!! And the accuracy at 25 yards shooting duelist was about 5 inches, I'm impressed!!
Now onto further questions:
Do I really need that lubed wad between powder and ball??
How about loading conicals of say 255gr RN with BP in a 45LC, anybody do this??
And do I need to wash the brass inside and out between loads??
