Trying some of my loads off the bench with the Rossi. Using the Lee 452-200RF with Unique. I also have a few Hornady 240g XTP Mags loaded up with Unique. All shots were at 25 yards.
Hey Josh, just found your channel, have the same gun, caliber and everything. Had to "wildcat" a hunting round for this last deer season. Found some 45 lc 250 gr. XTP slugs, on top of some Blue Dot. They clocked around 1200 fps. Killed 3 deer with it. Use it because I saddle hunt and need a light, compact rifle. Enjoy your videos. Keep it up.
I never knew Hornady made a 240 gr. XTP. I've fired a few 250 gr. XTP's and found them to shoot quite well out of my Blackhawk. That Rossi is a handsome rifle in my favorite revolver caliber.
Yeah they are 240g XTP Mag. I seen them at a gun shop about 2 years ago. Wanted a box of 45’s to have on hand. The load data for them is in the 45Colt Ruger & T/c section of the Hornady manual.
I use a 9.0 gr Unique load for the rifle and 8.5 gr for my sons revolver . The revolver loves the 8.5 load and the rifle isn't picky at all with 8.5 or 9.0 or even if it's a 200 or 250 gr bullet .
