Yessir. I did exactly that some years back--in 45 Colt with #454424 and about 90%-density loadings of TB. They bucked just a bit--'Cowboy Loads mi nalgas!That stuff is anything but low pressure. Ya, let them shoot a cylinder of each in a 45 Colt with a 255gr slug, BP substitute my.....
That will seperate the dandies from the men.
we routinely run stuff like clays and red-dot and don't think twice about it.
unless we actually delve into the real pressures we would see if Lyman put them in their manuals,, we just take it for granted those 30-40 year old loads are dead on safe
i kind of get a kick when guys say i run blah-blah at 1400-1500 fps and never ever know they are running a 45K load.
when you talk about running a case full of super slow or two steps too slow powder and they hear stuff like 45-50grs of this or that in a 308 case their eyes get all big.
they never ever look or think about you also running @45-K only at 23-2400 or so, and without having to resort to linotype.
i always get a laugh at the cowboy dudes that won't use anything but a case full of that donut powder thinking just cause they can see their bullets fly through the air their pressure is like 10-K.
ummm it ain't.
Sort of like the 15 second 1/4 mile cars ?
The first car gets it all out of hole doing 60 at the 1/16 and 75 at the 1/8 and its topped out
The second takes to the 1/8 to get 60 but breaks the 1/4 lights at 90 .
The 3rd car is only good for 45 at the 1/8 but breaks out at 120 at the 1/4 .
Elapse time is only 15 seconds for a 60 mph 1/4 and side by side there's going to be inches at the line .
Same deal inside the barrel . You can get to peak velocity in 3",6" , or 12" but it's still only xxxx at the muzzle .
Not only did they all go bang but I shot two good groups at 100 yards. I shot 3 at 200 just to see the amount of drop and they were about 10 inches lower than the 100 yard groups. First group was 1.25” and second was 1”. These are the best groups I’ve ever had with cast bullets in a rifle so I’m pretty excited! Much slower than I thought they would be running right around 1800 fps but I’m very satisfied with the groups and they all went bang with no hesitation at all.
