I've read many high praises of a 250 to 255 gr cast bullet over 8.5 grains of Unique as being an accurate and mild load for .45 Colt. This reportedly should give me somewhere between 725-800 FPS depending on barrel length.
Now that I've started loading .45 Colt, I would like to work on loading some Unique (I have access to a ton of the stuff). However, I am having a hard time finding actual pressure data for Unique in .45 Colt. I've already been to Alliant's website. They list some loads in .45 Colt, but they don't appear to list approximate PSI measurements. Could someone direct me to some data, or perhaps break out their reloading manuals and list some data for me?
For now, I think I'll be playing with 5.5 to 6.0 grains of 700X under a 200 gr RNFP. Should make a pretty suitable plinker.
Thanks guys.
