What's your favorite .45 Colt deer load? Didn't draw on elk, so a deer will be the biggest critter to get whacked with the revolver this year. I'm thinking Lil'gun or H110 for the powder but can't decide what to use for a bullet - cast or jacketed? What weight? The Hornady XTP 250gr and 24gr of Lil'gun should be in the 1200fps range from my 4 5/8" Blackhawk - or is the heavier 300gr bullet going slower a better choice? Maybe a Keith style bullet in the 270gr configuation? Thanks.
