Hi, I have a question here, I have an 1873 colt SAA made in 1880's era, I was told that the old model made pre 1940's can only take Black Powder loads. I am not sure but I thought all 45LC bullets for sale now by blackhills, winchester, etc... are made with blackpowder. Is there a 45LC round out there that takes regular smokeless powder if so which one does so I can stray away from it. I dont want that.
My main question is I just purchased winchesters 45LC 250gr Lead Flat Nose bullets for my SAA. The box does not indicate if it is smokeless or black powder, nor does it indicate the amount of grains in the bullets. Can someone tell me if this Win 45LC round is built to old specs with old style powder and grains, or is it some kind of competition round.
The box says Winchester Cowboy Action Loads 45c colt 250gr Lead Flat Nose. Thats all any help, I want the bullets that blow the old smoke out the barrel.
