1st off, I have an old 1917 Colt ( certainly not a +P gun ) but fun to shoot...
along came the chance to buy over 1000 new old stock RP autorim cases for a great price...
then came the prediciment... hmm... sell off the extras, or build a new gun ???
so... my Blackhawk 30 carbine jumped at the chance for a big bore upgrade, & went to my retired builder buddy... it came home this week... 5.5" 45 caliber barrel, & 2 new cylinders, one chambered for 45 acp / autorim, & one chambered for 45 Colt ( I already have several 45 Colt single actions, so this cylinder will just get labeled & go into a drawer )... the Blackhawk is plenty strong enough for hot rodding the autorim cartridges...
so I have one ammo can labeled 45 autorim, & 2 ammo cans labeled 45 autorim +P & I'm ready to start expirementing... may start with warmer 45 acp loadings & go up from there...
anyone play with the autorim ???
anyone have any revolver ( or hotter ) acp loads they want to offer ???
have several 1000 acp bullets, & plenty of LP primers... just need to choose a powder from my powder library... any suggestions ???
