have done some research for the perfect load for my SS Redhawk 7.5 in 45 colt.  I see a 250 grain cast bullet. Over 18.5 grains of 2400 doing 1200 fps.  Then I see 20 grains of 2400 hitting 1197 fps.  What is up??     Or could some one give a realistic mix for  my 1200 fps goals….  Thanks

I have considered those as well. Gun tolerances and so on. The key to the magic box is pressure equals velocity, and velocity is pressure.  In a shell, that means Avery container of powder should come with a chronograph.    And a box of brass should come with a C U P tester.  We see lots of lists showing safe working pressures, but did you ever sit and really wonder?   Kina Scary?                                                                        And still I can’t wait to get to the range for some more testing.   Another part of this question, is who can one recommend to make a closer tolerance cylinder for my girl, want to squeeze every ounce of potential out of my Redhawk…   Also, Know any good chronographs out there….

I saw that article, it is bookmarked and sitting on my night stand.  After all, it is quite a dreamy article.               I am going to compare it to H110 as soon as my crono comes a knokin..    Also have seen some posts of there being sharper recoil with LILGUN.          Still looking forward to the comparison.  Or is it just a nother reason to go shootin......  Gotta love it...
