Great cowboy action load. But as with all straight walled cartridges that do not generate very much pressure, it is a bit dirty.Email author:Boothill-Bandit

Great cowboy action load. Use magnum pistol primer with this load due to small amount of powder in large volume case.Somewhat sensitive to the ambient temperature. As with most straight walled cartridges that do not generate very muchpressure, it is a bit dirty.

7/27/2019 All Load Data for the 45 Long Colt Handgun Cartridge
5/8
This load is almost a perfect.45 Colt factory duplication load. The basic data is straignt from the Winchester manual. To man itwill apear somewhat conservative, but in all the revolvers and leverguns Ive tried it in, it has matched the factory ballisticsperfectly. Ive found this load to be very accurate and consistant when used with the Remington 250gr lead .45 Colt factorybullet, or the Lyman 454190 bullet cast from wheel wieghts.

Velocity average of 5 shots over Oehler 23C chronograph. This load was safe in my Ruger Blackhawk, 7.5-inch barrel. I haveshot it in my Cimarron SAA Artillery replica (5.5-inch barrel) and it has been safe, with no excess pressure signs on primer orcase (but is a stout load none the less and leaves lead in the barrel). This data is for information only. I worked it up carefully inthe gun listed. Use it at your own risk.

6/8
Redhawk that wears a 5 and 1/2 inch barrel and its been very picky in what it liked. I started at 16 gr. over a good bag rest , thesix groups I did shoot , opened and closed like a bellows.The 18gr group at 25 yards and a rather heavy trigger prevented anygroup better than 2 inches. I stopped at 18.5 grs. its maybe a prudent choice , for my Redhawk wouldnt hit the side a barn a t20-22 grains, and those loads , trust me are very healthy pressure wise...Well Good shootin Yall....Don Hou.TX

This is a very accurate load in my Encore with a 12" barrel. It is mild in recoil and fun to shoot.

This makes for a mild to moderate CAS load, its right to POA in my 5.5" Vaquero. FPS is unknown, but should run between 750to 800.

Cases are cut down to the same length as a 44 Special and OAL is also the same as a 44 Special with a similer wieght bullet. Ishoot this in my Vaquero. If the cases are not cut down, I use 11.0 gr. No signs of excess pressure, and velocities are veryconsistant.

This is accurate in all my .45 Colt guns, including the Marlin 1894 rifle with the MicroGroove barrel. Economical, also. Learnedthis one from Mike Venturino...but found out that the heavier bullet (he used a 250) was actually better.
