Powder Coated 45 Colt Bullet Tests

Scott F · Mar 24, 2016

Got to test the Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt Yesterday. I shot sever bullet configurations into a sand berm and recovered some to see what they looked like.

First is a 280 gr flat nose soft bullet at around 1200 fps.

350 gr flat point at around 950 fps.

I got a good look at the shank on this bullet and it shows the PC held up well.

275 gr penta at 1025 fps

Then the 275 gr deep HP at around 1150 fps.

All shot better than I did but I did get the new ghost ring rear sight dialled in and I really like it. These loads were stout but not at all hard to handle. I do think it would be more comfortable with a super Blackhawk Grip frame.
