New 45 Colt BP load for me
30 gr FFFg Goex measured by volume
with a cereal box wad on top of the powder
then a punched felt wad soaked in a bees wax/tallow lube
230 gr RN bullet (tumble lube Lee mold for 45 ACP, powder coated)
Starline brass
#300 CCI primer
crimp 1/2 turn with LFCD
OAL was flush with the end of the cyl
Anybody done this load? If so what velocity did you get? Estimates?
I'll be using:
3½" Uberti 1873 Cattleman with BHG
5½" Uberti 1873 Cattleman
8" Pietta Rem 1858 New Model Army with conversion cyl
