If you have a copy of Lee Second Edition it has all the information in the back as well as along side powder charge.
Good book to have around.

3x5 index cards get the initial load information and stays with the ammo till fired. Notes written on back of card for changes or leave alone. Index card then put in card box by caliber.

Works well in .45 Colt, it is much easier to measure than Unique.
The caliber you want is the one to get. Any of the three is able to be up to snuff, you just need to figure how much messing around you want to do with it. (that is part of the fun).
I am...
I can't help with the cast but I do use Penn 185 gr. DEWC, I missed weight you have at first.
So far I have used AA#2, 3.6-4.0gr., AA#5, 6.1-6.7gr. and Trail Boss, 4.3-6.3. For some reason I...
I picked one up a while back, bird head model.
Only ammo used in it is snake shot. Not bad for just walking around the desert.
Not worried about what it looks like.
I do keep my 38 wc brass separate from the rest but only having less than 200 pieces they get reloaded soon after use.
I only have 2 for 45 and 3 for 44 spl. so standard brass is normally used.
The...

I'm doing my 10 day cooling off time before I pick up my CVA hunter in 44 Mag.
Odd thing is, I wasn't even mad when I ordered it. I just wanted a decent 44 single shot.
I am glad to hear folks are...
I tried some 240 gr xtreme fn with a good dose of AA#7 and AutoComp in the Bulldog and it was a little much to me. I have tried some other combinations with lighter boolets like the 215 gr bayou swc...
Some time back I started shooting .44 spl in a SBH and kinda got hooked on that round. Later I picked up a bulldog to help feed the habit and not disappointed but limited on verity of loads used. ...
Guess I am one of very few shooting a 14" 45 Win. Mag.
It is fun to shoot but little reloading information is available but enough to put some lead down range.
I have used some in 4 different pistols and I keep some ready on the shelf but I lean toward Autocomp for a little less snap as mentioned earlier.
Take care
Don't get rid of what you have now, just add to it. Today's books lack older information on older standards.
The idea that folks don't shoot this round anymore appears to be a ink saving thought....
I agree with Forrest r, I do not cast but 215 gr. Bayou SWC are about as heavy as my Shelton Bulldog likes. I do have some Penn 185 gr. WC to work up.
If delivered, will do paper work on Ruger GP...

Henry states those loads can be used, you didn't mention the firearm you will use.
About half a pound used in 9mm and 45acp, hornady jackets, extreme plated and bayou tech coat all good.
Went looking for AA#5 last week, lgs didn't have any but they did have 2, 1# W231. (notice I said did have) Haven't seen it around here for a while.

Sometimes barrels come from nowhere, a co-worker that knew I had a contender asked if I wanted another barrel. He knew of one for sale but didn't know what caliber, the guy had sold his others and...
My small assortment is at times fired by more than me.
Family and friends, some just learning, do not all have the same hands or grip. Just is a little easier to get to the next step.
