Working up a 100 yd load

[coloradoclyde]

I have shot a 45 competitively for years and like Rifleman1776 I shoot a 55 grain charge because that’s what shoots best. I use that charge for everything, deer to squirrels.
I think having a 100 yard load for hunting is pointless. Most people can’t even judge a 100 yards within 10% accuracy. Shooting the same load creates a certain consistency. It is far easier to adjust you aim than to adjust your load. 1 gun, 1bullet, 1powder, 1patch,1charge,”¦.1shot!

I like that concept. Enough powder for good group and know where the ball strikes. baxter

65 grains FFFg and .44 ball was my load in the seventies. My current small bore flinter uses .453 ball and the same carved powder measure with Jacks Battle.
