thanks for the link.. I have some of the Gold Dot in .430 and they shoot
lets say.. all right. When you get to 100 yards you tend to get some flyers and I mean they might miss by 10 inches some time. So I will have to order some of them and give them a try. I have been plinking the others off. Actually the 270 grain shoot pretty good out of my CVA Staghorn for some reason.
Plus I have a friend that is going to reload .44 magnum loads for my revolver and he can load them up. At close range what I intend to do with them they should shoot well.
I had the same results with my 44-cal Speers. I have discarded all my 44-cal bullets & sabots. My 777 powder just doesn't show consistency with them.
That was a nice report by Sabotloader. I clicked on his links & before you know it -- I spent a few hours web-searching bullets for my grandson. I settled on a 100-pk of Speer Gold Dot .451s in 185 gr. Also found some revolver roundballs in .451. I will test those roundballs inside some45/50 Harvester sabots coming out of my 1-48" Deerhunter sidelock.
One of those twoloads should work for him out to 50 yards & be of light recoil. I hoping to tune them inusing a 60 grain 777 ballpark volume. With colder weather arriving, all this may have to wait until April thou.
