Last week I shot some handloads using a Berry's 200gr hollow base flat point bullet. Using a conservative charge of Titegroup I got a fantastic group with all 5 touching at 10 yards from my Redhawk. The Taurus Judge, not as good a group, but the recoil didn't feel like my palm had just been punched by Mike Tyson like when I shoot 250gr pills.
So, I'm starting to think for lighter weight revolvers that 200 grain loads for .45 Colt are the way to go for "urban" carry. The bullets shoot well, better than lighter projectiles I've tried, and the recoil is mild.
What do others think? Is 200 grains too light for use in a .45 revolver?
