Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR Took the new bullet out today for a trial run..

I've always been interested in a 45 cal. flat nose PP offering since my Darkside indoctrination via the kindness of ET,Jorge & Gunner 500.

Considered having a custom mould cut to match the profile of the Lyman 457121 as it's a field proven go to greaser but got headed off at the pass by Sharpsguy who graciously gifted me one as he has another.Casting and hunting with Keith style bullets in 41&44 mag for many moons made me a believer in this flat nose design for down right getting the job done, can't imagine it won't work in a 45/110 Shiloh !

Ran my usual 30:1 alloy as the mould was set up in the hollow base config and didn't change it.They came in at about 502grs respectfully...as I'm strictly loading KIK 2F the loads tested today were 95 grs with a .250 seat and a very light touch of tapered crimp.These printed a tad lower than my other two PP moulds so I'm guessing maybe a tad more velocity outta this one.Ten shots grouped into 3" for the first go round so I'm happy as that will smoke any deer on the planet.





alongside the PH 457121



BTW jorge has christened this the "Long Lance" after the infamous Japanese torpedo..



THE FUN CONTINUES !!

Looking good Grasshopper! 3" groups Il'l take it! I wonder what your MV was?

Don't know guessing maybe 1300+ but forgot the target pic!

what was your powder compression? .450 or so?

Bout.485 these Jameson cases take a bit as they fill up quickly.

That looks like minute of deer out to an easy 200+ yds to me.

Thanks and I certainly hope so but I've got to get some longer ranges under my belt as I'm shooting for 100-300 as my hunting comfort zone.it's a hoot experimenting but when the dust clears I'll probably weed out several and settle on one good greaser and PP for hunting..

Nice job, Woody. Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks CT this a blast you gotta get one of these beasts !!

Agreed nice pics Woody. Groups ok too, nice and consistant rd group.Understand and agree on the hunting distance yardage limitations but don't sell your self on just short range shooting. Up till last weekend I'd never shot mine past 1200 yds and that was cool but last weekend I found that they shoot 1760 yds well with ppb's albeit ones with a higher bc than your hunting slug. 45 2 7/8" the real deal, all the rest are just wannabe's.

Fuggin Sharps are more addictive than Heroin!! Flyin' bricks huh!!

Oh yeah and now a proud member of "CCU"..or Cannon Cockers University.These rifles do somewhat resemble artillery don't you agree?

'Long Lance' is a good fit. If y'all keep posting this and I will have to try one on for size.

You're gonna slap a buck outta his hooves with that flying lead brick Woody.

Ya'll are a terrible influence. That's all I got to say....

chit my wife took one look at my face when we stopped at Shiloh one afternoon on the way to Bozeman and now she wont even let me stop for gas in Big Timber

I'm not sure what is worse. My wife told me that I needed to get one and in the next breath said, "and I want one of those knives."

All I got to do is figure out how to pay for them.

Life is good.
