Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Big Bore Handguns, anyone?

Doing the load development, I did not have much time to shoot the test loads one evening, as far as setup goes, so I was just shooting over the hood of my old Land Cruiser at 25 yards using my 4 & 5/8ths Blackhawk.



I could not see the shots or if I was on paper so I walked down to the target and all 4 were in one hole.

I took a pic because I figured I would screw up the next shot since that is typical for me.

I was aiming for the green dot BTW.




My fifth shot was pretty good too.



I then shot some for the chronograph and got an average of 1155 FPS, which for a short barrel (4&5/8ths") is pretty good. I am curious to see what numbers the load would do in a 7.5" Blackhawk.

This is definitely going to be a good heavy load for full size/large frame .45 Blackhawks.
