45 LC question

Post by Next » Thu Mar 29, 2012 11:27 am

Picked up a Judge and was looking for ideas on a good load and bullet combo?

I picked up some new nickel cases just need powder and bullet combo. Any suggestions? Thank You

I am on the road but if memory serves I use 7.5 grains of Universal under a 250 grain LRN flat top. I like this combo a lot in my 7.5 in blackhawk and 4 in s&w model 625 mountain gun.

I have used 7.8 grs. of Unique and a 250 gr Keith style bullets for years. Just sub a JHP and you in business. With the big flat nose SWC you really don't need a JHP. It does penetrate well and that may be an issue.

The guy I had lined up to reload my 45LC is too busy to mess with it. Anyone here willing to reload 300 rounds for me? I have New primed cases. Send me a PM if you can help.
