45 Win mag
I have decided to break out the 10" win mag and start work on loads for it,used the factory stuff a couple of years ago and it works great on hogs,but am wondering about hand loads any one have any favorite ones?

I did'nt think anyone shot a 45 win mag hardly ever see any post anywhere.I have only had mine 6 or 7 months but i really like it.I have a couple of loads that are real accurate in my tube.I'll try to get out to the loading room as soon as i can and post them.

Dave,these are a couple of loads that shoot real well in my barrel.

225gr hp speer
wlpm primer
W296,28gr
heavy crimp
1" group @ 50 yards
1815 fps

265gr cast performance
cci lpm
H110,25gr
heavy crimp
3/4"-1" group @ 50 yards
1670 fps

250gr lead
wlpm primer
blue dot,15gr
3/4" group @ 50 yards
1466 fps

260gr hp speer
wlpm
bluedot,16gr
1" group @ 50 yards
1389 fps

this round really likes bluedot powder,i have tried several loads and they all were accurate.I think the 45 win mag is a very good round but you don't read much about it.These loads may be max can't remember.I do know the 28 gr of w296 is pretty stiff on recoil.
