Does anyone have a load recipe for 340 grain lead WFP PB .45
Does anyone have a recipe for 340 grain lead plain base Wide Flat Point lead bullets for a .45LC in a Ruger Blackhawk? I have a box of these and would like to try them out. There doesn't seem to be a listing for them in anything I can find.

I have a shot of whiskey or a glass of wine in the evenings sometimes, but I have a nearly pathological fear of guns and alcohol together from when I worked in a hospital. If seeing what comes in to the E.R. after drinking and messing with guns doesn't scare the hell out of you, then I don't want to...

That Junior sized hog was taken with a 400 grain Speer Gold Dot pushed by 19.8 grains of H. Lil Gun (Speer Manual lists 20.0 as max). I recovered 2 nicely mushroomed bullets, and 1 very torn up.

If you are using an old file, keep it from getting hot as it is already tempered. If you heat it up too much it will be ruined. Keep a bucket of cool water near you and dip the file in it after each pass. Files take a long time to shape as they are already hard. They make great cutting instruments i...
