My 'ol buddy Geezer Ranger found me one of these this past week (thank you SO much brother, you are the BEST!) and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. I can dance soda cans around at 30 yards with factory 250 grain lead RNFP Winchester factory loads (which for me is freaking stellar performance as I'm not a very good pistol shot ). Anyway, I think I'd like to try taking a hog or three with it (after a bit more practice). Looking for advice on .45 Colt loads as I have dies and components on hand already, except for bullets. Suggestions?

Thanks! It's a regular large frame. Still getting used to it. Liking it almost as much as my 1911's, if I can find a good accurate hunting load I'll start using it.

I've had one of those for almost two years, and though it's a great pistol I like the feel and balance of the shorter Blackhawk better. The new (to me) one has rekindled my interest in the round. No worries, I'll probably make a present out of the Bisley to my brother. He's wanted one for a while.
