To many 9's Homer.

Mine liked 11.9gr. W630 & the Speer 260gr.Jacketed HP. This made 960fps in my 5" Wilson barrel, would shoot into 2" off bags at 50 yards and worked perfectly on a 300pound black bear, shot through both shoulders, about 20 yards range.

I thought it was easy to shoot, but was doing a lot of handgun shooting back then.

Oh yeah- it also liked a 300gr. .45/90 bullet, lubed and sized down to .452", in front of 8.0gr. Blue Dot(not sure on that load - memory and all).
I think it was supposed to be close to 800fps. I didn't chronograph that one. I should have installed a heavier recoil spring for that load as it kicked a good deal more and was a bit hard on the frame, with some battering and a crack that I had to check-drill to stop. That worked and no further damage to the frame, amazingly enough.
