Thinking about a Uberti dragoon. Rate of twist 1-48. I know about modern rifles and blackpowder arms but am clueless about handguns. I'm thinking about duplicating the old 45 Colt load that Elmer Keith did such good work with. Around 265 gr @ 950 if my memory serves, which it often doesn't. What is optimum for a round ball? this is a fantasy gun and not for skirmishing. i'm hoping to go bear hunting with my .54 Jaeger next year and if my first shot doesn't do the trick I want something with enough _ss to break a shoulder if he's getting a little frisky and heading in my direction. time is not on my side and if I,m gonna have a little fun I better get with it. Thanks for lookin. Jaeger 20 GA.
