Ok, took the Winchester 92, in 45 Colt, out and started working up the loads for it. 18.5 grains of H110 behind a 300 grain gas checked Saeco did very well. Using the same bullet with out the gas check, key holed, shot a pattern, may have punched holes in neighbors target, Heck, it may have winged a couple of buzzards.
I used the gas checked version with 9.5 grains of Unique, did Ok and will explore that further. The 300 gr. slug without the gas check, with 9.5 grains of Unique, shot them everyplace except back at the shooter and that big bee I heard may have been a bullet.
Any way this rifle does not like plain based bullets, or non gas checked.....gas check style bullets.
My intention is to hand lap the barrel. Waiting for the lapping kit to come in. Do you think that lapping the barrel will cure this problem.
Maybe a better idea would be to load a bucket of 255 PB, normal bullet for 45 Colts revolvers, and see what it does.
