.451" or .452"

Post by LittleBill »

Im talking about cup-and-core bullets. Which one in a 45LC/454Casull? All I have are lead right now except for 1 box of hornady 200grXTP's. Could I try a few of those in 454? I know theyre supposed to be. 452".

going over .002 won't make any pressure difference with a Jacketed bullet.
your only concern is chambering.

the 200gr. XTP's will work in the casull,,, but they have a velocity window they work their best in, so If your gonna hunt with them you need to be aware of that.

Last trip to the range with my R92 45 Colt, I put 40 rounds through it loaded with Sierra 240 gr .4515 dia. bullets loaded to approx 1000 fps with CFE Pistol. It was a very accurate loading at 50 yards.
