Member.
I have boiled down my powder choices for all of my handgun calibers to two powders - W231 and W296.Gotcha there, bergman. Your load selection is why you are using the extra 45 Colt cylinder and not the 454 cylinder. Did you consider any other powders or is H110 a favorite you like to use? Just curious.
W231 is close to Hodgdon HP-38 and W296 is basically equivalent to H110.
Using W231 & W296 for the .45 Colt I can run the entire range from soft loads using hard cast or copper plated bullets intended for ancient guns to the top performance rounds using modern JHP bullets.
Thankfully, the bullet manufacturers have stepped up to the plate and offer a wide range of excellent high performance bullets for heavy .45 caliber loads.
