WELL SINCE YOU WON'T MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE CAN EXPLAIN IT FOR YOU I think the point is he doesn't have anything productive to add to the discussion, but is incapable of just staying quiet. |

I think the point is he doesn't have anything productive to add to the discussion, but is incapable of just staying quiet. THANK YOU ( I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS NOTICED THIS OVER TIME) It's definitely repetitive, but most folks have been great. It's amazing how many people are still interested in the old 45 Colt. Unfortunately, with old ones, there's as much misinformation as there is information. I started this thread just to show appreciation for Brian Pearce putting in so much effort on these kind of loads. There's plenty of data for standard pressure and 30k pressure loads. But, the intermediate stuff was lacking before now. There will rarely (if ever) be a time when everyone agrees. But, I still believe more available information is best where handloading is concerned... |

Brian Pearce did write an article for Handloader back in Apr/May 2007 where he addressed some of the mid power loads. The article is specific to the RCBS 45-270-SAA, and it's a bit dated, but still good information and worth a read.

Must have taken days to develop all the loads. |

I'll definitely be snagging a copy, or subscription, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

I have only the printed subscription. Is there a link to Brian's 2007 article or do I need to buy the back-issue?

If all you want is the data, a subscription to loaddata.com would give you all the loads from that article and others. There's 111 load data sources for 45 colt alone. Lots of the loads are from Handloader magazine. |

Ah. I forgot that. You're correct, I remember now.

Handloader is the only one I subscribe to. I let the others go years ago. The first thing I look for is Pearce's articles. Kinda like when I was much younger and Shooting times had Skeeter.

I've been using the Pearce article on the .45-270 SAA as my primary source of information on .45 Colt loads since it came out. I've got 2 or 3 copies laying around handy. I don't need them often because I've settled on one or two loads at each level and only go to the article when I need information on a different powder.
BTW, it is refreshing to go thru a thread that doesn't denigrate everything in print and brag about not subscribing to anything.
I just realized that everything posted here is now in print.

The thread remained mostly positive. There's always one or two familiar names that just have to make an @$$ of themselves. Grandma used to tell me there's always one.
It was just an excellent article. Both information wise and data wise. Like all articles, it had it's limits. How can any article about a 149 year old cartridge, that's still extremely popular, not be limited?
Different Colt Generations, metallurgy, etc can go on forever. It is as good as can be hoped for while staying in perimeters of the average reader.
It is but one installment of Brian's neverending efforts to provide specific data for advanced handloaders...

Since we're on the subject, I've noticed the Lyman 454424 mold (bullet) doesn't seem to get much love. I've got the mold, never used it yet. Is there anything wrong with it?
I'm looking to start loading some 250 - 300 grain bullets in the .45 Colt. I figured the Lyman mold would cover the 250 or so grain bullet, assuming its a good performer.
Also looking for recommendations for something closer to 300 grains. All to be shot in my midframe at teh lower pressures. The 300 would occassionally be shot in my Original Vaquero at higher velocities.
