JULY!AUGUST <strong>1981</strong>
HANDLOADING (Continued from page 59) brought the fragmented remnants of a brass case to me in a plastic bottle. He reported that he had merely picked up the 2.7 load for the purpose of transferring it from his loading bench to an ammo box when it exploded. That was almost 20 years ago. The event, although dramatic, was ultimately diminished by the passing of time and by the knowledge that literally millions of Bullseye handloads were being used without mishap. My abstention from the continued use of Bullseye didn't come about until 1 happened to read Cooper's "Blowing Up With Two Point Seven" in the November/ December, 1977, AMERICAN HAND GUNNER. Discontinuing the use of Bullseye is a matter of personal choice. My report on the "cartridge incident" was not intended as a horror story; and neither should it be taken as a mandate against the use of this propellant by anyone who continues to find it satisfactory and safe. Personal choice prevailing, 1have found Hodgdon's HP38, an even-metering spherical, to be an excellent propellant for everything from the .38 Special to the .45 ACP-and with a broad range of bullet weights and types. HEAVY STOPPING POWER Ken Pantling, of Leicester, England, agrees with my contention that heavy bullets pack the greatest potential for handgun stopping power. He says he's a keen practical pistol shooter, and goes on to report, "1 have been searching for a load that would be easily controllable, but would also show major calibre against a ballistic pendulum. Many shooters have followed the light-bullet/high-velocity path, but 1 have found that they pay a penalty in terms ofhigh recoil and disturbing blast. 1 thus started looking at the possibilities of heavy bullets in the .45 ACP. "What 1 have been looking for is a .455 Webley-type load in the Colt auto pistol. Jeff Cooper has described the .455 Webley as 'a model ofeasily controlled stopping power.' 1hope to combine this with the tactical superiority of the auto pistol. "The bullets 1 have been using are: RCBS 45-250 FN, Lyman 454424, and Lee 454-255-RF. All ofwhich weigh about 255 grains in hard alloy. "The most successful powders are Nobel 82 and Herco. However, Red Dot and Herco are the only available powders over here so 1will list the Herco loads. The best loads 1have used are: 5.0 grains to give 690 fps. This just makes major calibre and is very easy to shoot. It probably makes major so easily because of the bullet's sectional density and dwell time against the (Continued on page 70) AMERICAN HANDGUNNER • JULY / AUGUST <strong>1981</strong> 'g WALLIn-HOLS'I'ER for Hi·Standard Derringer l1Xlks Like a Wdct on the Outside ~ Packs a 2·Shot Punch Inside! !
