Hi All,
I just started reloading recently and am looking for a good "Hot" .45 Colt load. I'm currently using 4.7 grains of Bullseye along with a 250 grain lead flatnose bullet, which I would consider to be more of a Cowboy action load. I'm looking for something with a bit more recoil.
How high can I safely load the .45 Colt Cartridge using Bullseye powder? While my main interest is in using Bullseye powder (since it is what I have on hand), I would consider buying a different power if there is a particular one that would work better for my purpose.
The loads will be shot in a Ruger .454 so I'm not concerned about the gun being able to handle it. I just don't want higher pressures than the .45 Colt brass can safely handle.
Thanks,
James
