I was hitting pretty well out to 150 yards,(turkey target), but when I tried the 200 yard rams, I could not hit them, well one out of ten. My spotter said it looked like the bullet was "sailing". After the match, I had some shells left, I shot them from 300 yards with several people watching. The bullets went to just over 150 yards, then began a corkscrew arc, ending up anywhere from several feet from aim point, to 20 feet!
Talking to a couple of gunsmiths, and reading some stuff, it was decided the rifling twist was just too slow for 250 grain bullets. That 45 colt was traded for a used 44 mag.
I don't know if Ruger has made the 45 colts they currently make with a faster twist. I also don't know if you plan on shooting those heavy-for-caliber bullets at long range. But I'd bet they will De-stabilize beyond 150 yards, maybe closer!
I don't remember what that twist was, that's a long time ago. I'd guess it was 1-22, that number seems to sound right.
