Anyone have any experience with this companys products. I inherited 2 boxes (blue) of 45cal,452dia, 290 grain cast boolits from this companywhich I plan to load for my 454 Casull. Can find no info on them, or 454 casull loading data for their boolits. Help? Thanks, Bill

You can use the data for the heavier bullet with the lighter one; you just can't do the opposite. Your pressures will be a bit lower (safer), and velocities will be a touch higher.

Thanks to the both of you for your help.
Grmps... Is that load data from the Lyman manual for the 45 Colt, or 454 Casull. Thanks again, Bill
