Hey folks ! First off a big thank you on my post about the 454 cases . Now i have a new question .
I just got my hands on a Taylor and company 1871 open top in 45 colt .
I was thinking of using black powder substitute under a 255 grain lead bullet.
Any good loads and suggestions? I have never used anything of this sort in a cartridge before , and i could use the help , ideas and tips on this stuff.Whats one of the safer , and easier to use of this type, what primers work best, and nice decent loads to work with , at least stout enough , to take out a small critter , or finish off a deer at close range . So please any help would be greatly appreciated !
