Hi all,
For grins I’m thinking of working on subsonic heavy bullet loads for my 45. I have 500 gr cast bullets and would like to try the Maker 425 gr subsonic bullet they make for the 450 Bushmaster. The problem is, I have no data. It exists for the 45/70 of course, but I’m concerned that a bullet that heavy, pushed directly on top of the powder, could spike pressures. Anyone ever mess with this? Someone with QL able to run numbers on 100% fill or compressed loads with faster powders?
I don’t intend to push any pressure envelopes, and in fact would rather stay low (<20k).
Thanks!
Pete
