To start, I've never fired a jacketed 45 Colt round or loaded them for that matter. I've only ever fired cast. BUT, today I was able to get myself a box of Nosler 250gr jhp. The only powder that I have that Nosler lists in their data is IMR4227 starting at 17.5 grains and lists 750 fps, the max load is about 900 fps IIRC. Are these gonna be ok for my reproduction SAA's? I have always went off the rule of less than 900 fps rule for these revolvers, but that's with cast. If they are gonna be too tough on my guns, I will just use them for the Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine. This all may be a silly question, but I think silly if only it isn't asked. Thanks in advance.
