Shooting the Accurate 45-200H

This bullet is a tack driver. In a target platform with a good shooter you could shoot the X ring out.

Promo is produced by Alliant & loads to Red Dot data weight for weight. The Ruger is a 1976 Liberty model in 45 Colt. I purchased a 45 ACP cylinder & fitted to this sixgun.

Well they aren't from quite as far as yours was, but I bet I could dial it in pretty quick.

These are two 10 shot groups from 10yds with the HG version of that bullet.



My load uses 4.0grs of Bullseye. I have a SS Colt 1911 Govt, that is a pleasure to run these through.

I have been considering getting one of the Ruger NM 45 ACP/Colt BH's with the convertible cylinder just haven't gone through with it yet. Watching that didn't help either....

Thanks buddie, but that load is just awesome in that pistol.

My next trial will be testing them out in a nice new G41 with a brand new KKN match barrel.

I'll post up a report when I get a chance to try some loads out.
