[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2780368, member: 15054"] Too many variables have changed Ok so the Lyman 49th in the 45 Colt section they used a Blackhawk with 7.5" barrel and Winchester cases and Winchester primers. Load from book -200gr bullet cast from lead. 6.1gr Red Dot =923fps, 6.9gr= 975fps. My load 7.5" Blackhawk 200gr cast lead. 6.5gr Red Dot = 727fps. I used Remington cases and CCI primers.. and my alloy and bullet profile is different as is the lube. Then another load with 231 powder. Book used 8.3gr with their 200gr bullet= 1020fps I used 10.8gr and was rewarded with .. 1093fps. Another variable that changed is that my bullets were seated .032" farther out. Of course anyone who has loaded enough years knows this above information is old news. I just want to bring to the attention of new reloaders that if you change 1 variable you can change the outcome. Have fun and go make some empty brass. [/QUOTE]
