You are most welcome, Bill.

Have you considered making it a .45 2.4" or even a .45 2.6" chambering?

I would personally go for the 2.6". Descent with black powder and better, with higher speeds, lower pressure with lighter jacketed - whatever is decided upon.

Bill - if you get an opportunity, check out the new Lyman loading manual in a store, for data comparison. Pretty sure it was the new Lyman book. .45's in 2.1", 2.4", 2.6", 2 7/8" and 3 1/4". Now, I was also looking at the new Hornady book- but pretty sure it was the Lyman - they've had extra data on the longer cases before. One that intrigued me was a .45 3 1/4" load using H4895, I think it was and a 300gr. jacketed bullet at 2,200fps at low pressure. I don't think that was in the new book, but might have been. Acurate Arms manual also has data on the longer .45 and .50 cal. cases.
