I recently picked up a Uberti Cattleman. Along with it I bought some .45 colt dies, titegroup powder(the very knowledgable salesman suggested Clays but they were out), some 200g lasercast RNFP bullets, starline brass, and Winchester large primers. I checked three manuals and decided on a load of 7.4g of Titegroup as a starting load. At the range the accuracy was very good for a new pistol and a new shooter of cowboy guns. Here is my question. The amount of smoke produced was incredible. Actually felt like I was in a cowboy shootout. The brass cases, which were new, were very dirty on the outside. Is this normal for Titegroup and/or the .45 colt. Should I try a different powder (never used TG before)? Trail Boss? Clays? Currently I have on hand the following: Unique, PowerPistol, 800x and now TiteGroup.
Please share your vast info with me so I can work up a great load.
