Hello for the longest time ive made 45 colt for my schofields in SASS shooting. I wanted to change things up a bit and have a little fun. I purchased two uberti colt walkers and I'm getting the cartridge conversion cylinders with them as well. I know I wont be winning any matches with those 10 pound anvils but I'm just doing it for fun. The question is I'm new to black powder and I still want to run black powder catridge's in them so I can still get the smoke effect. Whats a good powder to go with? and what do I load at with a 250 grn RNFP? Ive read people filling the casing all the way to the brim and then seating the bullet and saying its safe....that just doenst seem safe to me and also Ive read people filling it half way and filling the empty space with corn meal. I dont want to take any chances with this. Whats the proper way to load 45 colt rounds with Black powder. How much powder? and what type of powder? and can i use CCI 350 magnum primers or do I have to use large pistol 300 CCI primers? Id really appreciate the help guys
