    Does reloading for a pistol caliber carbine require different powder?

    I've been reloading rifle calibers for years but I now want to start loading .45ACP for a 16" carbine. Can I use data from pistol shooters or do I need to tailor my powder choice to a rifle barrel? Currently I have Hornady 185 gr XTP bullets but no powder or primers yet.
