I have been waiting for some 530 gr BACO bullets to arrived but it was finally nice enough to shoot and I just received some more of Ed’s 465 gr bullets so I decided to give them a try at gong hunting until the 530’s arrive .
I chose an old school .45 original disc . It has been bedded and has fpj primer . Other than that it is original .
I had been shooting PR 260’s in it so I had to sight it in . It only has a 9 power scope . I could see the 500 yard gong fine but didn’t have enough elevation to reach that far . I was limited to around 300 yards .


I took along pyrodex p and triple 7 with the intention of trying both and working up an accurate load
As it turned out the pyrodex p load of 75 gr with veggie wad and ed’s 465 was good enough group that I didn’t do any experimenting this time out
This was the 3 shot group



I ended up sighting it in for 125 yard zero figuring I could leave it for hunting if it shot good .

Then I went to 200 . 2 shots were satisfactory, the third shot I think was my fault .


Then it was gong time at 300
First shot was a little high . It hit the t post that my gong hangs from . Ed’s bullet is a definite killer on steel t posts if you ever have a chance to hunt one

1 adjustment and it was dead gong every shot . You can see where the bullets hit the gong , the group wasn’t to bad
So my conclusion is Ed’s bullet is a killer to 300 on gongs and probably beyond if your scope allows you to reach out further
