The reasons I thought it might work are: 1. Doubletap sold 45s in 300gr.@ 1500fps 2. The old style vaquero is built on the .44 mag vaquero Thank you for helping me. Ive owned most of the DT loads at one time or another and I've never came across a 300 at 1500fps. 1200 and 1325, but not 1500. Your chronograph must be broken like mine! My loads always seem slower than the internet loads, and I load H110 at 100% load density! I've even got into pretty good compression and haven't made it close to what some claim. I wonder if those DT 300's would make 1500fps from a 16" rifle barrel? Maybe that is what they are advertising the velocities from rather than flat out lying.

I didn't see that .45 load advertised on DT's site but maybe I missed it...
Buffalo Bore is hot stuff and they are saying 300grs at 1325...which is still HOT.
I'm pretty certain that Lee and Whitworth start their shooting sessions with a 300gr at 1500fps...That just gets them warmed up...

I cannot recall Double Tap ever having a 300 grain .45 Colt load, and at 1,500 fps, that would solidly put a load like that into Casull territory. Believe me when I say that a 300+ grain bullet at 1,200 fps will handle anything you put in front of it. DT's 335 and 360 grain loads are pretty raucous, but not over the top.

Thanks, I appreciate ya'lls insight. I went back and looked for the DT loads and have not found them either. I may have just read it wrong. Thanks COR, your "NEVER use a velocity..." idea helps alot. Accuracy is going to help me alot more than speed.

..The extra 200fps (1300 is attainable, just not fun for me)is just needed when online or sitting at a stool. At 1100fps it's gonna go through most things you'll encounter that walk with 4 legs.../quote] Bingo. Through is through. Any more and you have to find bigger game. Like bigger than moose.
