Pardon the NecroThread , but this is closely related .
A cpl years ago during the Great Powder Shortage , Handloader had a slight variation . A chart featuring a lot list of powders , specifically giving the charges to duplicate the " Traditional , non-Cowboy " .45 Colt load of 250/255 cast @ +/- 860 fps . I'd like to find that .
The simplest thing to do is subscribe to www.loaddata.com For about the price of one reloading manual, you get an unimaginable amount of data.Originally Posted by Biggfoot44
The loads from the article you reference are in available there.
35W
The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.
There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand.

I'm loving my Ruger SBH Bisley S.S 7.5 Barrel and will work the loads up slow i also charge 1 at a time than check each case and 255 Lee flat nose as they say it will shoot just about anything. The info here has made me a better loader now to figure out bolt 450 action Bushmaster with lead bullets
When you know how to reload, you have got the shooting world by the tail.
So many ways to go.
If we're careful we can really enjoy ourselves!
Be safe!
