I don't see anything "wrong" with loading that way, and I see how one could arrive at the conclusion you did. I believe I wouldn't, but that's just me. That Keith style load would be very effective against most anything, too....but that heavier, hotter, bigger meplat load should be even more effective.
Mr. plowboysghost always appreciate your insight especially with .45 Colt as you have been working with that caliber quite a while and developing your own loads. Planning this winter to really get started on hand loading not just for .45 Colt, but .38 special, .357, and possibly .32 S&W Long, as well as .45-70. Wishing you and yours a great Thanksgiving next week.
I bet that was fun, I’ve never went hunting. I’m from TN I may have to arrange that one day. Gorgeous gun as well, I hadn’t known that Ruger even made revolvers.
I did enjoy it. Ruger is known for making very sturdy, reliable, and well made revolvers from the compact LCRs to the double / single action SPs & GPs to the Vaquero and Blackhawk single actions. They also make many .22 LR & .22 Magnum revolvers. Thanks for sharing.
Agree to Individual choice. Next hunt luck to you. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback and good wishes randyadams03. Have a great upcoming Thanksgiving holiday next week.
