Titewad (not group) for 45 Colt

[kilovs]

I picked up some Titewad powder and I have load data for 45ACP from Hodgdon's website. I would like to work up some range loads for my S&W Mountain Gun in 45 Colt. Anyone loaded Titewad for 45 Colt? Your help appreciated.

When a powder company doesn't use a powder for a cartridge there is usually a very good reason. Since Hodgdon is not listing data for Titewad in the 45 Colt it's probably not suited for the .45 Colt. I'm even surprised to see data for the 45 Auto because I remember reading Titewad shouldn't be used in handgun ammo, just shotshells. IMO Titewad is a very poor choice of powder for any handgun cartridge because of possible pressure spikes.
