Lyman 325-gr RN/FP-SWC & H110 in 45 Colt

[Naphtali]

Hodgdon's online database of bullet-powder loading for a bazillion cartridges shows no data for 45 Colt (Ruger and Freedom Arms) +P loads using H110 for bullets heavier than 300 grains. I seek reliable data for Lyman #452651 325-grain RN/FP-SWC loaded to overall cartridge length of 1.600 inches.

Strange very strange, just doubled checked my 2017 Hodgdon manual and thier website. am seeing data I have referred to for some years now for H110 and 325-335 grainers, but they are seated @1.680 OAL not 1.6, I would suggest seating to 1.680 using the lower crimp groove and cautiously working up towards and NEVER exceeding 23g. Just my $.02 based on my guns and same mold

Please re-read my post it is on thier website also. the 1.600 Coal for your m97 will impose a restraint on powder charges, while I never loaded that short I would refer to case capacity- w296/H110 work best at 90%plus loading density. Would determine how much powder takes to just touch the base of boolit seated to your COAL , reduce by 5% and work up cautiously

I shoot the Lyman from my Vaquero, old heavy model. I use 21.5 gr of 296. 1/2 gr less or more opens groups. I use the same load with the LBT 335 gr. I use a fed 150 primer but the WW LP has promise and shot very well. Ave velocity is 1160 fps and it thumps at both ends.
