My 45cal GM LRH likes 80 gr of Pyro P and 200 gr .40 cal XTPs with Harvester light blue easy load sabots.
Interesting point there Bronko. It's a great example of how barrels of the same manufacture can produce different results. Last year you told me to try Pyro P in my gun and I did (though maybe I used too hot a load). I shot 95 grains at 100 yards with the smooth blue Harvester sabots and got this.



Notice the velocity readings - pretty hot. A few months later I tried 80 grains of T7 FFG and got this with about the same velocities.



I just checked my records and find I've never chronographed my hunting load of 85 grains GOEX FFFg. But it's certainly slower than either of those loadings - probably around 1650 fps. That load hangs in at around an inch and a half at 100 yards.
