I thought some might like the topic, .45 Colt

I got a buddy into handgun hunting and he is anticipating the arrival of his .45 Colt Contender barrel. We are working up a load to use for Whitetails at maybe 50 yds. I found at the LGS some 240 gr. XTP Hornadys. They make a 250 gr. as well. I think those are for heavier game and possibly the .460 S&W or .454 etc. I think the 240 may be a bit lighter jacket for expansion at lower velocities. I think maybe 1200 fps or so would be a good load, not to spook his horses too much. He's not much of a handgunner and we might take things for granted, much more than that is a handful for "normal" people, others besides Misfits. lol

I'm showing him the flexability and economy of loading your own. He has some interest in reloading. Actually it's not cheaper, you just shoot a whole bunch more for the same money!
