Friends

This is a load I am finally able to have made available.

A few of you guys have shot the pre-production runs, and some went to Alaska.

FIRST. THIS IS FOR STANDARD/LARGE FRAME RUGER BLACKHAWKS/REDHAWKS, FREEDOM ARMS MODEL 83s ONLY. IT IS NOT FOR MEDIUM FRAME RUGER FLATTOPS, COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY, CLONES, OR OTHER SIMILAR GUNS.



It is a 325 grain Hard Cast WFN (wide flat nose) with a massive meplat.








Velocity from my Ruger Blackhawk 4&5/8ths" .45 is 1155 FPS.




Back in April I mentioned working on this, doing load development.

I was short on time. Normally I have a proper setup. That evening I was literally shooting over the hood of my old Land Cruiser, just doing a quick test. Here is the post from that:


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.



That was back in April.

I loaded, shot up the projectiles I had on hand, and sent some out to a few people. Since then I had been waiting for more. They finally arrived and I have been busy loading, testing, and shooting more. Quite a few more. (between loading other cartridges). Overall I am extremely happy with this load.


So now they are available.


I have 10-100 round boxes ready to go.





THE PRICE INCLUDING SHIPPING AND INSURANCE IS $130 TO YOUR DOOR PER 100 ROUND BOX.








I take Venmo, USPS Money order, or checks (once cleared by the bank). I do not take paypal.



It will ship Ground UPS. It must go to a physical address, not a PO Box. Ammo cannot go through the US mail.

Thanks!

Ted, I bet those would be down right pleasant to shoot out of one of the 6.5 inch Ruger Bisley 454s.....I think I need one

Looks great! My 5.5" Redhawk would love these. I'm curious about bullet details...meplat diameter, bullet hardness, lube, manufacturer, etc. Thanks.

They are pretty sporty out of a short barreled B Hawk.

But I am quite happy with the performance. Definitely would be a stellar BG round.

Ted, I want a 100, but I always buy from ya on you’re website, are you going to get these and your new 40’s on there this weekend, thanks

I just put them on the website about 5 minutes ago.

Thanks, I’ll tell my buddies too.

Mackay If ya have any left I will take 100. PM inbound

You got it!

Planning on making some more this weekend in between wrangling feral children!

UP we go!

A person asked me about the meplat on the WFN 325s.

They are very wide, at around .408.





Stellar bullet!

Glad you like them.

The meplat on them is Yuge!
