Got to shoot my new huntin pistol

Finally had a day to hit the range and shoot my new huntin pistol.

I had ordered some Doubletap .45 colt +P loads to play with. They are 300 gr bonded JSP at 1300 fps. I shot at 25 to confirm my scope was on, then moved to 50. This was off a rest at 50 yds. I should be able to kill a 120 lb michigan whitetail with this. Recoil was not bad at all.

I am hoping to load for this caliber and produce a tighter group. I also would like to try some Buffalo Bore cartridges as well...

Nice looking rig Brian.
300 grs at 1300 fps should do the trick.

Need... want... It all gets so confusing. Just give in to your baser nature, Dave. Enjoy.

That is VERY nice! Man, I need to scope my 44! That is great shooting!

My first revolver was the Super Blackhawk Hunter in .45 Colt; mine is topped with a Leupold 2X scope. They shoot extremely accurately, as you are finding out. If you decide to shoot cast bullets, might want to think of reaming the cylinder throats to .4525; mine were really tight. Have fun with that great revolver!

I like it!

Man, I really need to scope up my longer Blackhawk....

Looks like you're set to go. Nothing can escape that!
