few years ago, i cast up some 270gr rcbs scovill bullets which came out at about 281grains. I think it was 8.5 or 9 grains of unique. s&w model 25-5 in 8inch barrel.
I shot clear through a four inch prospectus, bullet burying itself in the ground, which i recovered. It' miked out at over .9 basically flattened out to double it's original size. And that wasn't any super load either. It seems like a trend in some of the gun rags people writing about stuff they really don't have any knowlege or experience with, and more than ever written with an agenda to promote who ever paid for the space in the mag.
I have people now and then tell me the .45colt is obsolete, which shows the degree of ignorance.
