I got a couple of .45’s to play last couple of month’s . I thought about a light load for my daughter like 80 grains and a 195 powerbelt. Seems like the .45’s like to go faster. I found some 150gr Knight Red Hots, loaded 135 FFF T7- ave 2413 fps. This would be better than a 30-30. Not a lot of recoil, should be good to 100yrd, seems like the copper bullet would hold up at these speeds. What do guys you think?
In my opinion you picked the right bullet. I shoot the 250 and 300gr Knight Red Hot which is a Barnes Expander MZ out of my 50 cal. CVA Wolf. I use 2-50gr Pyrodex pellets and it shoots great. I'd back off the powder and swab after each shot and try to tighten that group up. I'd bet you will be pleased.
