Re: A Black Friday tale of 2 Blackhawks - - PICS UP

Re: General purpose.45 Colt bullet

I'll have to try the 270s, but you've gotten me hooked on the 300 grain bullets in the .45 Colt from an earlier post. A 300 gr. WNFPGC from Matt's bullets and the Hornady 300 XTP have both shot really well for me. Especially my Miroku '73.
