I'm loading a 255gr "Keith-style" SWC for a Thomas 1873 Revolver in .45 Colt.
I'm using Trail Boss 5.5 gr, max 5.8, at a depth of COL 1.595".
I'm not unhappy with the results. I'm just unhappy with the Trail Boss being distributed in 9-oz containers at $16.95 (better than local Cabela's, when they had it) which translates to $29.97 a pound.
Aggravated, probably to no avail, I lookd at alternatves and came to Unique, 8.5gr, at $22.98 a pound, and wondered if I should transition to this even though the bottom line equals 0.03 a round difference to my advantage.
Which takes me to this question: what are you all using to load a cast .45 Colt these days?
