I'm wondering if anyone has a handle on loading .45acp with smokeless powder. I'm looking at Trail Boss as it is bulky and should make some good low pressure cowboy loads with coated lead bullets.
I have a Pietta 1858 steel framed Remington Sheriff's model and have a Howell's conversion cylinder. In California, it's prohibitively expensive to purchase ammo unless one can find it locally. We have to send it to an FFL and pay hazardous material shipping fees.
I would rather have a .45lc as loading data is plentiful but it is what it is. I'm having a hard time finding reliable info on line.
Apparently. the .45acp conversion cylinders are not widely used and/or popular.
If anyone could direct me to a good source on smokeless powder loading data specifically for the .45acp or your experience with a low pressure cowboy load, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
