He was a hunter, competitive shooter, etc. There was a lot of reloaded ammo & I'm sure some of it came from his neighbor who had recently died. Would you guys shoot either guys ammo. One was a friend for over 30 years, the other guy I hardly knew.
There were 7 boxes of 45 Colt reloads with 255 gr cast bullets & it said 10 grs of Red Dot. To me that raised a red flag, that's a lot of Red Dot, which isn't a great powder in the 45 Colt. I pulled all of them, 91 had 10 grs of Red Dot. The others had either no Red Dot, 20 grs of Red Dot or else a different powder.
If I shoot someone else's loads I do it in their gun. But we got a bit off topic didn't we? 24 HR Campfire sure has changed the last few years.
