Re: Swiss 1.5F and the 45 2.1"
3,000 pounds is 1.5 tons. If one shooter fires 540 grain cast bullets, 1x40 animal match = 65 rounds x 2 matches a month = 130 rounds.
Maybe practice twice a month 2x30 rounds = 60 rounds, round off to say one shooter 200 rounds a month, more or less.
200 x 540 grains = 108,000 grains = 108,000/7000 = 15.43 pounds x 12 months =185 pounds per year.
3,000 pounds divided by 185 pounds per year = 16.21 years.
In reality, it is what it is or should I say it is what it was because you don't know what you did until after you do it. Got that SEMTAV?

So you are saying at the rate of 400 rounds per year I've been averaging lately, it should last me 130 years.???desert deuce wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 10:14 pm round off to say one shooter 200 rounds a month, more or less.

I'd have to put another bump in the road so I could collect twice as many wheelweights if I was gonna shoot that much.

And with that math and our proclivity for planning to never run out of components, most of our heirs will have have a good supply for many years if they shoot and a pain getting rid of the left-overs if they don't...

Now DD, you know you've been told 25 times on here half a grain of powder will not make a difference.
Normal isn't coming back, but Jesus is.

There are quite a few postings here I pay no attention to. What I do pay attention to are verifiable results.

Similar for me in my TD - 64gr, .06 wad and 500gr bullet at 2.86 but just a straight pour into the case. Drop tubed charges did not perform well for me.

Re: Swiss 1.5F and the 45 2.1"
My best load for the 2.1 is the P.J. Creedmoor 45001-459” 540 gr. bullet .60” LDPE wad, 69 grs. Swiss 1.5 one G.G. showing. Powder is dropped through a 24” Shiloh drop tube. This has shot very well in two Shiloh rifles chambered for the 2.1 and all bullets and loads are compared to this load. The first reduced band bullet I tried was a Steve Brooks “ Pointy” bullet @510 grs I bought off of EBay it shoots as well but requires 79 grs of Swiss 1.5.. I learned that both of my 2.1 chambered rifles like a 460” bullet real well.

Thank you again for all of the replies, I still haven't been able out to my shooting spot due to prior engagements, after the middle of next month I hope to be able to dedicate more time to working with the Swiss.
