RE: Freedom Arms - Lumpy Grits - 12-11-2013
Yeah, that's why I'll wait till I can do a hands-on fire of a rnd-butt.
Shoot'n a 325 gn GC with 30gn of H110 out of a 4 3/4" bbl is a handful.
With my hand and shoulder issues. Not firing many full power loads these dayz.
My favorite target plink'n load is 9 gn of Unique w/255gn plated SWC.

Finally got tired of the weight, so I sold it and bought a Model 97 in .45 Colt. Still have it, might be buried with it.
The finest fit/made revolver I have ever owned.

Mine likes 8.0gr Unique under a Laser Cast 255 gr RNFP. 9.0 gr, which is an accuracy load in a lot of guns, opens up to 2.5" @ 25 yards. The 8.0gr will do 1.5" @ 25 yards all day long.
I need to get a decent mold for it now that I have started casting and see what else it can do.
