Do you by chance use the 250 and 290 in a 45? I have never tried a solid copper, bullet to bore.Thanks for testing. I think that I will stick with the Barnes 195 gr Expander, 250 gr T-EZ, and 290 gr T-EZ in my .45s. They have served me well since 2011. They are plenty accurate.
Joking or serious?Thanks Ron, just another failed bullet.
Yes, I shoot them land rider. I have to knurl them. I use an Eastern Maine dry wool wad.Do you by chance use the 250 and 290 in a 45? I have never tried a solid copper, bullet to bore.
Ok. Are you using standard black powder/black horn loads or smokeless? I’d really like to try it if it’s standard loads.Yes, I shoot them land rider. I have to knurl them. I use an Eastern Maine dry wool wad.
Only smokeless. Never tried BH209 in any of my SMLs and my one .45 smoker has too slow of a twist rate 1:30. My SMLs are 1:22 twist.Ok. Are you using standard black powder/black horn loads or smokeless? I’d really like to try it if it’s standard loads.
Ok, I have a 1-20 fast twist mountaineer. I wasn’t sure if black horn would have enough pressure to get the bullet to engage the rifling?Only smokeless. Never tried BH209 in any of my SMLs and my one .45 smoker has too slow of a twist rate 1:30. My SMLs are 1:22 twist.

I think 120 gr by volume of BH209 is worth a try.Ok, I have a 1-20 fast twist mountaineer. I wasn’t sure if black horn would have enough pressure to get the bullet to engage the rifling?
