Load Data for Uberti 1858 Conversion ?

[hylander]

Where to find load data for an 1858 with a .45 Colt conversion ?
I can not seem to find any load data.
Can it be loaded hot enough for hunting ? Say Pig out to 50yds. ?

Just read the data...both Cowboy and Standard 45colts are just below the 14,000psi mark....

the conversions are suppose to be kept below 1000fps...probly to keep of "case-head-thrust" down.

Don't overload things with 777 and think you are being safe...Just follow the loading manual!

Can't go wrong with a 1/8" compressed load of FFFg and a 250gr. or so bullet. That's what they are made for after all.
