45 hollow point SWC, Ohaus bullet.
diameter- 0.455”
weights-
deep hollow point 250gn
penta 260gn
solid FN 270 gn
perfect substitute for the 455 webley factory conical bullet.
Works in 45-70, lower weight bullet, less recoil. Also less depth in case so lower pressure levels.
for those who are familiar with the book “Pet Loads “ by Ken Waters, the Ohaus bullet was one of the 8 bullets he used for his load testing with the 455 colt -Eley. According to Ken, it was the hardest hitter at 650-750fps ranges.
“Of all the bullets tried, this is my favourite for the .455, measurably increasing the guns effectiveness over factory loads with their conical bullets.”
