I've been reloading .45 Colt for my Ruger SRH and things have been going well. I just bought a Rossi levergun also in .45 Colt and would like to load for that as well. I've never loaded for any rifle before.
When I went to Lyman's 49th all of the case and bullet dimensions are the same. They also showed the same bullets and the load range of Unique and HS-6 being the same for both handgun and rifle.
I plan on loading 255 gr coated SWD from Missouri Bullet:

1) Is there anything different about loading .45 Colt for a rifle vs. handgun that I should know about?
2) Are coated bullets ok to use in the carbine?
3) Since the bullets are loaded one behind the other in the levergun, I plan on using a SWD bullet profile so there could be no detonation of the primer in bullet in front upon shooting recoil. Does that make sense?
