Hi All.
Looking for some hunting projectiles and load data for my 45 Lever Gun.
My books only have Single Action data , Would like to use the rifle for both.
Anyone help?

Hornady XPTs would have to be the best all round hunting bullet in pistol cals. I use them in my 44mag and 444 marlin. And the 357s are also popular. The 45s come in 180 to 300 grain weights.

Hey Mick.

Have a read of this http://www.gunsandammo.com/reloading/re ... e-45-colt/

Along with the article about half way down is 4 pictures and the 4th one is a table of load data to go along with the article.

Never more relaxed than when I'm sitting at the bench.
Best form of therapy there is imo

Dear Santa,
Please bring me a Desert Tactical Arms SRS-A1 Rifle in .338 Lapua Magnum.
