Hello friends,
I was at the range today shooting my 1911 with some particularly warm hand loads (in fact the batch of 20 I made at the highest end of my load up were too warm imo, I'm going with position 4 of my workup) and a gentleman at the adjacent lane commented that I sure seemed to be shooting hot ammo. He didn't seem to approve.
I told him I guess I didn't really think of any 45acp as particularly hot, but that for the range of loadings I guess mine was at the top end- and that generally I went that direction. 44 especially i want my blackhawk to be to cooking. We discussed loading a bit and he was very polite and pleasant but he wasn't shy about saying he thought I was on the wrong path by trying to load at the very top end.
It got me thinking, what kind of ammo do most people like to shoot?
