Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns ROSS SEYFRIED QUESTION

Im not sure i understand. If both are run at the same pressure with same weight bullet, At 36k psi the 45 colt runs faster, it does so at 50k psi. It will run faster at 30k psi as well, in fact it will run faster at every psi if they are the same. Im not interested in subjective pressure limitations from linebaugh or anyone for that matter. That said, a 44 has a distinct advantage in over the shelf ammo and that may be good enough for most. Advantage 44. When ruger only loads are compared from boutique manufacturers, they run basically even. Look at doubletaps barnes loads for the best apples to apples comparison. When loaded there theyre even. When loaded up to potential, the edge goes to the 45 colt. The best bullets go to the 45 colt just because of the fact the 454 exists and the bullets made to take that beating are made tougher than 44 mag bullets. The 45 swift aframes and barnes are just thicker and tougher. So if ya load those and run to maximum then i give the edge to the 45 colt but id never do that because the 454 does exist and ill just use that if thats the road im traveling as it outpaces the 45 colt by as much as the 45 will outpace the 44. That said id never use the bullets ross used in the 44 mag or the 45 colt with the 44 mag pointy small meplated hardcasts being particularly worthless.
