Howdy, I have been reloading and casting over 40 years, started with a muzzleloader, moved to handguns, then rifles, shotguns too. So I have that covered.
I recently bought a Colt SAA, Black powder frame, made in 1893 per SN in 45 LC. This is my 3rd 45 LC, had a 25-5 and like an idiot traded it for a Ruger BH 45. I have been casting 45LC from a Lee 452 255 gr flat nose for years. In my other 45's I just shoot as cast and Tumble lube before loading.
This Colt, (my first SAA) is in very good shape, locks up well, bore and chambers in good clean shape.
Seems I read somewhere in a magazine about using low power loads of smokeless in black powder frame colts. Anyone have any data on loads and powder? I checked my 6 reloading manuals and found nada for the 1 Gen.
If your just gonna climb my back and tell me to use Goex...save it. I have several pounds and may end up using it. But I'd like to not have to scrub it every time I use it, and likewise with the brass.
Again, howdy y'all from Texas, who has some light loads of HS-6 or Unique, Bullseye etc. for a 1st Gen Colt??
Thanks
