I have a H & R smokeless conversion-- 50 cal-- friend has a NULA and recommended 42 gr. of 5744, black Harvester crush rib and Hornady 45 cal XTP--451 diam.
Since the break open action is not as strong as the Nula 50-- I would like opinions from you guys as to whether that load is acceptable in terms of safety, not accuracy.
I realize that load experimentation will be necessary for accuracy.
Thanks |

.45 cal XTP's come in 200, 250 and 300 gr.? Probably your looking at the 250 gr. version? If so, it should be fine.

I doubt the Nula action is stronger than the H&R or Apex. The H&R center'fire action can handle a 400gr bullet 500SW mag at 60k psi for a lifetime and the Apex can handle a win300 mag a 65k plus its mostly the barrel contour and breech plug you have to worry about most.

You could use a 300gr bullet with that 42gr of 5744 unless your breech plug is sub pare.. Whats your breech plug?
