45 colt load data help.

Lol, if he had a manual he wouldnt be asking about load data?
A 250-260gr bullet at 1250fps would be a magnum type load in 45colt. So not suitable for all 45 colts.

Ya, thats what i thought... But, there ALWAYS a negative Nancy in every crowd that likes to throw stones rather than help. I have never loaded this projectile. I didn't know which bullet to reference from(Thanks Mehavey for this info.LSWC or LRNFP)

He about PLATED bullet load data. I’ve got so many printed load manuals it would take multiple trips to load them into the truck. There’s very little plated data in them.

I think the simple answer the op needed was to use lead, not jacketed recipes with plated bullets.

In post 12 he says he has many manuals, but prefers to consolidate his pet loads into an excel file on his confuser. But it appears someone didn’t read the whole thread before posting??

True but the Linebaugh loads I occasionally use in mine aren't in the manual either. What I was pointing out was the upper limit for plated bullets not what he could get with a 255gr. As he said, 10000-1100fps with that bullet is more than plenty. I'd stick at max of 8gr or so using unique which would put him 800fps I think. 8.5 gr max around 850fps starting 6gr and working up.
