Hello everyone I just received a Beautiful Stainless Ruger New Vaquero 5.5 inch barrel chambered in 45 Colt it was a gift from my wife. I'm aware that the new model Cannot use Ruger only loads which is fine for my purposes.
I've been wanting a single action in 45 colt for years as i enjoyed shooting one as a kid growing up in Oregon. I decided reloading for this caliber is almost a must considering the price of the stuff on the shelf. I have some brand new Winchester & Starline brass for it as well as some .452 200gr Laser cast RNFP bullets. I'm trying to find some 250-255 grain RNFP or SWC locally.
I have several loading Manuels I just picked up over the week. I was wondering what powder you more experienced folks use for 45 Colt? I'd be just target shooting paper and at times steel plates. Currently I only have Winchester 231 & Tight group on hand but I hear good things about Unique & Trailboss for target shooting.
Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
