ALL of the info and question is for .45 Colt. I left the cartridge in question out.[smilie=b: I bought one and have loaded it cast of COWW air cooled sized at .454” with 5.5 gn. 700X seated forward of the crimp grove (would not chamber sized .454” in my 3 screw BH seated to crimp grove) with a medium crimp, primed with S&B LP, dip lubed with White Label 45/45/10. This load chronoed 761fps. The BH had the cylinder reamed by Cylindersmith to .4525” this was done prior to the load listed above.
Since then I have acquired a Lyman 4500 and resized the rest of the remaining Keith boolits to .452” and lubed with WL Car Red over the dip lube.
I want to load this boolit to around 1000 fps+/-. I have Red Dot, Unique, 700X, HP38, IMR4227, H&Aliant2400, W296, SR4756, AL5, SR4759. The boolits weigh 268 grains in the finished form.
The closest weight I have found is in Lyman Cast Bullet #4 for the 452-270-SSA but these loads appear to be for Colt revolvers.
I appreciate any suggestions for getting me on track.
Thanks!
