45 colt load for Rifle and Rem nma

(1/2) > >>

Lord Eoin MacKenzie:
  My local indoor range does not allow lead bullets.    I am looking at a common load for my Rossi 92 and my Rem NMA with a conversion cylinder.    Using Berry's 200gr bullets.   I have Trail Boss, Unique and Herco.  Any Ideas?   Thanks

Cap'n Redneck:
Is the conversion cylinder a 5-shot or a 6-shot model?

The 6-shot models have very thin cylinder walls, and if I remember correctly the instruction manual says to use only pure lead bullets at blackpowder equivalent pressures.

Lord Eoin MacKenzie:
  I would like a mild load, that won't get stuck in the 20inch rifle barrel.    But OK for a Pietta REM NMA conversion,  6 Shot preferred.
  I am having to "roll my own" since the local range/LGS  and the Sportsman Warehouse both don't have any 45 colt ammo in stock!!!.  I have brass, bullets, Lee Dies, powder but  would like have something that will work in both.

Hi

You might ask if you can shoot poly coated.  If the issue is burning the lead off the bottom of the bullet then the poly coat might work.  I don't see what would help if they're worried about the back spatter on the back wall.  Even FMJ squirts out lead when it hits the wall.

I'd find some place else to shoot!
