This is what I use in my 25-5 Smith with excellent results at 25 yards. A lot of sooty cases but no leading so I'll deal with the soot.8.0 Unique and 250 lead bullet has been pretty much the "standard" .45 colt load for a hundred years.

Would this be a consideration for "cowboy" pistol loads? thx.I used Winchester 231 for .45 Colt, but the powder charge occupied so little of the case volume that I had concerns that powder shift would affect velocity consistency. I switched to Trail Boss, which is a much bulkier powder.
