I am looking for smokeless powder loads anyone has tried in a 45-120. Of particular interest are jacketed and FMJ bullet loads in the 450 to 500 grain class.
Thanks, TEG

The factory sights were regulated prior to the rechamber with a 300 gr factory load. After the rechamber the rifle shot dead on to the sights with a 480 Woodleigh at 2060 fps. Took all of 30 minutes to do both barrels, reassemble and test fire. Try doing this job in your lathe in 30 minutes RBG.

seems like you already have some, and chronographed too... or was that another lie
Jeffeosso, Yes got a load worked up, but would like to get about another 60 - 70 fps out of the ol' girl. Interested in hearing what others have gotten out this round and what powders they have been using. Is that okay with you?

Thanks for the information. I will try it next time I take the 45-120 out. I knew that you would come around sometime and we could interact like mature adults.

TEGGY - I always knew you were a big cut and paster. And there's never been much doubt in anyone's mind that you are an idiot who really knows just enough about guns to be dangerous to himself and anyone around him.
You just proved it with this masterpiece of stupidity!
Anyone who knows their ass from a hole in the ground about reloading knows that tossing 10 grains of Red Dot into a full charge of powder for this imaginary 45/120 would create a bomb! For sure it would get the velocity increase you wanted...but this bogus load would include chunks of the action as well!
So, for your own good...please leave the gun talk to the guys who know what they are doing. Your lack of real experience is appalling and is exceeded only by your desire to make a fool of yourself REPEATEDLY.
With a little more effort you might have a REAL life and not have to do all this pretending. (Just a friendly suggestion)
Now, this is where you post a reply claiming you knew all along about the Red Dot gag, blaa, blaa, blaa

No, I didn't know about the Red Dot. But I don't have a rifle yet, either. As soon as I'm eighteen, though, I think my uncle is going to get me one, then I can learn to hunt. How much do sleeping bags cost? I want my own next time me and my uncle go camping.
I'm sorry I wasn't polite on the other posts. My mother was out of town and didn't remind me about my lithium until she called on the phone.
I'm OK, now.

P. S. Thanks for telling me the truth about the Red Dot. My uncle might have tried it. He says you never know whether you'll like something unless you try it. But I think sometimes you just know.
Looks like he's getting his multiple personalities mixed up. Why won't this guy go back about his boring job at Boulevard Title Co. 29425 Chagrin Blvd. Cleveland OH 44122 (216)-464-9617?

Good point, Kevin. I think we should all call him up and ask him.

You know, I was just humming through this thread, more or less just scanning it, and saw the "10 grains of Red Dot" recommendation -- and I thought... "HUH?!"
Silly me. It didn't occur to me that you MEANT to kill him. My mistake. I needn't have been concerned. All is well.

Pecos45, Shit! I loaded those up last night. I am glad that I looked here again though. I was taking those out Saturday to try out. Please in the future don't assume I know you are pulling my leg. YOU might get me killed or something.
How do you unloaded loaded ammunition without firing it off?
Actually, I no longer work at Boulevard Title Company. I left there sometime ago. They canned me.

KB - Since TEGGY is now unemployed, maybe we should suggest a less expensive option for him. What if he just held this ammunition, primers down, over an open flame?

TEGGY - I note your email address has suddenly changed to reflect your new unemployed status.
My question is, if they fired you "some time ago," why were you urging members to email you at Boulevard Title as recently as a day or two ago? Hmmmmmmmmmm? Inquiring minds want to know.
It's the shits being a chronic liar, isn't it TEGGY/Todd? You can never remember who you told what lie! Poor guy. I almost feel sorry for you.

Pecos45, I hardly think I am the fool. Afterall, I did not post a load, which in a double rifle could hav had, shall we say, terrible consequences.
In my book, and most civil lawyers I would imagine as well, that makes you the FOOL!
Are you from New Mexico or Texas? You condescending attitude is so very familiar to me. There is another texan here, who shares many of the same life experiences as you I might add, that you very much remind me of. I find it EXTREMELY amusing that he lacks the guts to post YOUR posts under his original handle!
And you say I have multiple personalities! Go figure.
Russ, Duplex and even triplex loads are done everyday. This is nothing new. If Pecos doesn't know that it is not my problem. I would not use his load formulas for my duplex loads though. Could be kinda bad.

Thanks for this post TEG...I've waited all night for you to swing your bullshit around 180 degrees and suddenly claim you know ALL about duplex loads. Hahahahaha. I guess you had to do a little reading up on it to find out what the hell I was even talking about eh? You are such a MO-RON. I can't wait for one of the other members to smack your stupid ass back into my court so I can backhand you again.

Can someone help me with these remarks? Until I bitch slapped TEG with the duplex load posted above, he didn't have a F%$#ing clue what I was even talking about. Now his fermented little brain has twisted it around where I'm the one who never heard of a duplex load!
Wow. I wish my body were as flexible as TEG's little brain. This boy stretches like a human condom.

Russell - Excellent serve on the "smokeless powder." I fear TEG doesn't know any more about powders than he does reloading...or for that matter fornicating. I suspect all the above are virgin topics to him.

No, they are not new concepts. (You are, but they aren't.)
Dick Casull (I get "postal" when people pronounce/spell "Casull" as "Casual" or "Caselle"... Jesus H. Christ)... who was one of the brave souls who "played" with triplex loads... did so when other powders, which we now have available, were NOT available to do what he needed from his guns/loads. Even he, now, would tell you NOT to mess with such things. Now, coming from HIM, most people would take that as gospel.
I also take you to task over your "everyday" comment. I submit that you're full of shit. I further submit that you cannot find where any vast, countless number of people are undertaking duplex and TRIPLEX loads with "SMOKELESS" powder. I know it's hard for you to learn about such things on your own (information like this is typically concealed -- in books), but you just can't keep tying up space with such stupid drivel as doing duplex loads with smokeless powder in .45-120 ammunition. You sincerely try my non-existent patience. If this were the 1880s, I could shoot you in the gut and let you bleed to death in a mud puddle in the middle of Main Street. Further, no one who knew you would feel anything toward me except, perhaps, an obligation to reimburse me for the spent round of .45 Colt.

It goes like this. Never mix powders, keep both eyes and hands. Mix powders, maybe keep both eyes and hands, maybe not. I am conservative by nature. I do not undstand hot loading cartridges, except in a few individual rounds when in certian guns. However, weather or not I know anything about laoding a certian calibur, if some one tells me to throw in a few grains of some pistol powder, I know I will not do it.
The only published duplex smokeless powder load I have come across is for the 700NE. Tho these loads are for a 700NE built in a single shot 50BMG bolt action, I think they have a large margin for safety.
Well shucks,I came here to read about some good smokeless loads for my 45/120.Instead I got more of this troll hunting BS and a lesson on why you shouldn't mix powders (well,DUH).
