After working on the Flyer issue I wanted to shoot some lead, This gun has shot Ed's 465s very in the past.

The Gun:



Ed's bullets:



So, things got a little interesting.

465 Ed lead
70 of T7 3F
100 yards

Shot 1 was on a swabbed barrel. Shot 2 on a fouled bore moved up. I had trouble loading #2 so I swabbed it again, Back on top of #1, shot 4 went back to #2. I swabbed on next 4 and I either missed the target completely or they pile in. The hole did seem to grow a little each shot.

I really like the bullet on the left. Good shooting either way

Triple Se7en

You show two different bullets, but only mention one. Is the 465 the one on the left? If so, what's that on the right? That one looks to be over 500 gr.

my guess is around 385 or so on the left
but that's a good question

Very nice looking gun by the way. if you ever decide to get rid of it let me know.

The one on the left is a 350 grain soft lead hollow point. Ed Melhig casts them from a Lyman 330gr Hollow Point Gould mold. They come out at 350 grains when using pure lead. Great bullets, and his prices are very reasonable.

Triple Se7en

That makes sense, since I forgot the thread was intended on a 45-cal ML.

Ed's bullets are excellent. And they shoot very well out of my White .451 and my .45 caliber percussion cap GMB on a Renegade stock.

Very nice shooting there. And that bullet will get the job done. I have been pushing them with 80 grains of 2f T-7 out of my rifles. The recoil is very acceptable and as you show, the accuracy more then acceptable.
