After loading up some of the heavy 255 gr bullets over 35 grs of 3f goex ...I fully understood why the Army wanted the charges reduced in theirs .....it`s really a heavy load ..I keep some around just incase I decide to try deer hunting with my hand guns in black powder ...but for target shooting , it`s just too much recoil to recover from ..Kinda of like when I bought a Ruger 357 mag back in the 70`s ..it was fun for a minute ..but the heavy recoil took its toll on me even at a young age ...it just wasn`t fun to shoot ...so it got pushed way back in the gun safe . I`ve tried to load some of the lighter bullets over the 35 gr powder load ...180 gr bullets do reduce the recoil ..but they just won`t group as well as the heavyer 255 gr bullet . Back in the day they were by no means shooting an underpowered gun with the 45 colt . The big bullets aren`t moveing that fast ...but they do punch a mean hole .
