I like Matt's 240SNK (Short Nose Keith). Shoots better from the Redhawk in Cowboy Special brass than it has a right to.

6.0 grains of Universal, roll crimped. Runs about 890 fps, not real speedy but a fun load.

It's rarer than Trail Boss now. |

You know what they say: the hunt is half the fun… Always up to the challenge. Haha If nothing else, got Bullseye, Titegroup, 231, VV N-320 / 330 / 340 / 350, Unique, and maybe a bit of Power Pistol. Surely something suitable in that group somewhere… Apologies to OP for the thread drift! |

I DO NOT WANT TO DUPLICATE MY "S&W 45 COLT LOAD" WITH A 250gr RNFP BULLET IN A SHORTER 45AR CASE, SO AM LOOKING FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. RON REED MADE SOME 240gr WFN 45AR AMMO FOR ME THAT IS VERY ACCURATE IN A MODEL 25 "1955". I WILL TRY TO POST A PICTURE OF THE LOAD AND A PULLED BULLET. ALSO THINKING OF USING UP A BUNCH OF THE COMMERCIALLY CAST 255gr SWC's I HAVE ON HAND THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE NO 45 COLT LOAD FOR, WHICH MAY BE THE WAY I GO SINCE I ALREADY HAVE PLENTY OF THOSE 255's ON HAND JUST TAKING UP SPACE.

There are loads in the Speer #9 manual for their swaged 250 grain SWC for the 45 AR. I've used these for my cast 255 grain SWC for both my 45 acp and 45 AR loads. I tweated them to compensate for the 5 grain different and slightly harder alloy. Awesome loads. By the way the 45 acp loads with that honking 255 grain load feed, function, and shoot very well. |

Yup that would be a great bullet for the 45 both acp and AR. |

ABOVE IS A PICTURE OF THE REEDS AMMO AND A PULLED BULLET. HE RATES IT AS +P, PLANNING TO CHRONO IT IN THE MORNING out'a THE PICTURED 6.5" MODEL 25-2 "45 CAL. MODEL 1955" IN 45ACP/45AR. I HAVE PLENTY OF THE REED AMMO TO FEED THIS GUN FOR A WHILE, LOOKING FOR A LOAD TO, PRIMARILY, FEED A RUGER CONVERTIBLE THAT I HAD JRH TWEAK THE 45ACP CYLINDER TO ACCEPT THE 45AR.
