Hi all,
I just recently started to reload my own ammo for my .45 Colt SAA replica (Uberti), and my Colt 1911 .45ACP. I researched online and found that Hodgdon H6 seems to give good velocities for both loads. I have sinced used up most of the pound that I bought and was wondering if anyone has any better ideas for which powder to use. Due to financial constraints, I need to use one powder for both. I had pretty good luck with H6, but was just curious if there is a more efficient or economical powder that would do as well or better than H6. I Usually use 250 gr lead or Hornady XTP jacketed bullets
Note: I also have a Uberti Yellowboy '66 in .45 Colt, so I shoot my loads in that rifle too.
thanks,
JohnnyB
