Gardners Cache 340 gain LFNGC in .45 Colt.....

[lobo]

I've finally got a nice 3 screw .45 Colt Blackhawk 4 5/8", and need some help with load info.

I have some of gardnerscache.com/45colt_454_casull.html bullets. I'd like some load information to push them around 900 - 950 fps.

Any help with load info would be appreciated.

Those bullets are priced nicely. Anyone have experience with the bullet maker?

I purchased two boxes of the 340 gr LFNGC bullets. They arrived promptly, and the bullets look really nice too.

I'm really tempted to order 500 of each of their g/c bullets. I'd love to hear more reviews.

~16 grains of VV-N110 will get you that, somewhere between 25,000 and 30,000 CUP. Make sure that's safe in your gun.

I use a 345 Keith SWC-PB in a Custom built 45 Colt by Dave Clements off an old model 3 screw Ruger. A favorite load is 9.0 Unique/WLP which gives me 920 f/s.

I placed an order. The clock starts. I went with the gas checked .357s and .429s. I recently ordered Leadheads 45's, so I didn't feel like I needed any more yet.

Thank you so much for the load data!
