Week two as a "Proper Shoot-oligist".

Week two as a "Proper Shoot-oligist".
I finally had time to set up and make a few 45 rounds yesterday. A 45 LC "Colt" round, even with a 160 gr. bullet is ........ uncomfortable for me to shoot out of the pistol. 777 is a hotter powder than "BP" , so maybe the "real deal" will be less...???... "warthog-ish". It took a few tries to find the correct "disk" combination to drop the right amount, but I've got it now! I guess I'll have to start all over when the "goot stuff" get's here.
I also set up my dies for the "45 Special" brass. Now we're talkin'!!!! That is a very nice round with the 777 load. The recoil was more to my liking.

Can't wait to start throwing the lead downrange powered by the "Green powder". Yep! BP is Green. All the "elements" are found in 'Nature", and you don't need any "Chemicals" for cleaning. Thus the "One true Powder" is " Green". BP powered car?
Get Back to Nature, and Shoot BP! Save the Planet, Shoot BP! Go green, shoot BP! That will get the "Tree Huggers" attention. I'll make Republicans outta them Yet! I'm really a Libertarian, (Tell Uncle Sam to "Leave me alone," and "Mind yer bidness"!) Dang, Hijacked my own post.

Does this sound right to you guys? Given the same amount of powder, a 160 gr. hits low and a 200gr. hits POI. I would expect the 160 to hit higher than a 200. I know, operator error, may come into play, it was, me holdin the gun.

Summary: 777 powder 45 LC rounds are too "Hot" for me in the pistol. 777 powder 45 Special rounds are cool. What's up with the relationship between powder charge and Bullet weight?

See y'all in the FOG soon!
Capt. Chaos, Fill em' up and Let em' rip!
More experimentation and results to follow......
