Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 45 LC "heavy" loads in a S&W Model 25?

I am going the exact opposite - going slower for plinking fun and maybe small game.

The trick to this is not having to adjust the sights. The way that is achieved is by using Cowboy 45 Special brass. I am shooting 200gr SWC over 5.2gr of Unique and it has the same POI at 10y as 255gr SWC over 9gr of Unique.

This lets me shoot my lovely N frame lots more using less powder and lead alloy. These days, it matters because I dunno when I can get next batch of reloading components...
