Santa decided I was a good boy this years and is leaving a .45 Blackhawk under the tree.
I have been looking at various components for loading this beast and came across THESE, 200 grain copper plated SWC.
Looking at my various manuals, I see SWC lead in that weight. There are also loads for Hornady XTPs of the same weight.
When looking for load data on bullets that are not specifically named in reloading manuals, do you look for similar weight and construction? Are there other considerations I am missing?
