Another conversion cylinder loading question.
Hi guy's i'm looking to load for the 45 colt in a reproduction Rem 1858 with a Kirst converter ( 45 colt).
My question is if I want to stay within the safe zone here how do I know how deep to seat the boolit if there is no data for that particular design?.
Say I want to load the Ideal 454374 which is the RN 230 gn boolit to within safe specs and this boolit isn't in any load book for the said 45 colt , how do I know how deep to seat that sucker so I don't up the pressure and make it a tad hooter than i'm going to be comfortable with ?,
I ask cos I have a gazillion of these cast up already for use elsewhere , also have the H&G 68 from NOE
.
Or can I seat it just below max overall lenghth ,say 1.590" max being 1.60"?,
OH! also in the lyman manuals it says I can load the 200 gn 452460 swc but it's fps is in the 900"s whereas the recommended safe load ( fot the kirst conversion cylinders ) say's 850 fps,, agghhhh!!!! i'm so confused ,,, Darn conversions,,, can't wait to get shooting,,
