John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 In an effort to save some of my small pistol primers I’m going to be shooting my 45’s a lot more. I usually only shoot BP out of them, so I need some light 45 Colt load data using Clay Dot and 200gr RNFP bullets. thanks, JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Kane Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 John, I've had good luck with 5.2 grains of Clay Dot, 200 grain RNFP bullets and 45 Colt cases in my '73 rifle. For my over-the-top rifle reloads, I've had good luck with 4.6 grains of Clay Dot, 200 grain RNFP bullets and 45 Schofield cases. Finally, I've had good luck with 3.8 grains of Clay Dot, 180 grain RNFP bullets and 45 Cowboy Special cases in my OM Ruger Vaqueros. WK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Jorge Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 So, what kind of chrono data are you getting with the above loads? I have used 5.3 gr Claydot with a 200 grain projectile to get about 800fps; Wild Bunch PF about 160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Have used 5.2 grains ClayDot and 200 grain bullet to get Wild Bunch PF. Shot accurately too. Clay Dot is really good in cowboy .38 special loads too. Just those pesky little primers. good luck,, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
