45 Colt success

Post by bdbrown66 » Sun Mar 01, 2020 11:49 pm

Remember those 240gr Sierra JHP's I got on closeout from a local gun store (in the Reloading forum)? I worked up some loads to test, and I believe I found a keeper. 100 yard group.

Looks like a winner. :lol:

Ohh, very nice shooting! I'd say your testing is done. If scoped, what is it? Thanks.

Very nice shooting and lock that load down! Even with a scope that is a great target!
