Undecided on a great many things
Ok, so I have been looking at loading 45 colt cartridges for my Howell conversion cylinder. They say to limit to low power loads and listed 850 FPS and 12000 PSI, but all things I have read PSI shows slightly higher than CUP the powder manufacturers list. So the slightly high 12000's could be close.
I was looking at Trailboss and even at Clays although I have yet to find any to buy locally or online and until LPP are available for found I can't load it anyways.
I have a 160 and 200 grain mold for 452 LRNFP bullets. I was figuring I'd save on lead. Now I am not sure I just wasted $23 on the Lee 160 grain mold as speeds and pressures seem to exceed the limits listed. Bigger does seem to be better, but i can make 200 grain work.
The attached pic shows all the places it exceed 850 fps or 12000 cup even though they said psi. Though for other powder to compare also?
