Title: 45 long colt
Post by: gadabout on May 22 2021 10:30:37 AM MDT
Shot the Super Comanche today it it worked very well with my reloads. Also shot my G2 and it ran very well. It must have a bigger chamber as I was shooting a few rounds from yesterday that got hung up in the Browning and Sig m17. Shot real good in the Tausus.  Craig

Craig were the Long Colt bullets 0.452" or 0.458"  some of the guns took the larger bullets!  I think most of the newer use the 0.452"

Ah..They are .451 according to the box. My measuring thing has a dead battery. These bullets are XTP's  I have loaded and shot in ACP a while ago. 230g.  Craig

BTW what I do like about this 45 long colt is it's a one shot and you have to remove the spent cart. and then reload! You can put the empty cart back in the plastic container so you can't loose any. It's not a great gun but fun to play with.

Forgot to mention them 45's were left over from 45 long colt I did for my holster guy's son, a nine year old. I had these left out because they were Starline brass and I knew I would never see them again.  I only had 15 or so and so I only shot four. Just finished reloading them so I am back up to 14 or 15 rounds. Big woop!!BTW 45 long colt is very hard to come bt and I was lucky to find it at a gun show. There is not a big demand for this round so I think I will be able to get more as I need them.  Craig

This is later, I found my other stockpile of 45 long colt and sorted it looking for starline brass. I found 14 more 45 long colt to reload and add to my stock. Oh happy days!!!  Craig
