I have played with the 45gr Hornady SP bullet in my 204Ruger T/C Encore MGM 24" 1-11 twist barrel, with H4895 shoot well. But yesterday I got a surprise, I shoot it at 100yrds shooting about right 1/2'high, but at 135yrds it was shooting 2" high. Against my 39SBK with H4895, 0 at a 100, 1/...

Re: 45 grain bullets

I went today with a little different load .002 gr more of H4895 seating off the ojive. Shot .800. going to tweak it alittle call it good, for my project. But I will say that bullet is BAD, killed a jack about 135yrds look like you shot a furry pillow, another threw about a foot.
