Does any forum member that owns a T/C Patriot in .45 cal. have load data for both 3f Geox and 3f 777 using a .440 ball?
 
In both my TC Patriot .45 and my Charles Moore .45 I shoot 15 grains 3F for short range (15 yard) paper targets. Very accurate.
 
I have a Jukar Kentucky pistol in 45 cal. Mine seems to do best with about 35 grains of 3f Swiss. 490 ball and a .010 Oxyoke cotton patch. I've loaded up with 40 grains but that's been my max.
 
A good many TC Patriot's have had their stock/grip broken by people shooting heavy powder loads so beware.
I wouldn't go over 30 grains of powder and would probably shoot loads more in the 20-25 grain range.

Excellent advice. Thanks.
