Have my Encore sighted in with the 300 gr. SST and 100 grains of MPB. I ain't shooting that while I am hurting like this. So Thinking about using my old Firehawk loaded with the Lee 255 gr. 45 Colt bullet sized to .452, some red sabots I took off the SST's (replaced with smooth black sabots) And load a measly 60 grs. by volume of Shooters world MPB. I already know this load shoots pretty good because it is a practice load. My shot distance can't exceed 75 yards due to cover and I would have to look for a place I could see that far. My guess is the load gives 1200 to 1300 fps? Maybe a bit more? At any rate it would seem enough for deer at close range. Man running the ram rod is killer!
