.45 Colt smokeless powder

(1/6) > >>

Froogal:
Just curious as to what smokeless powders some of you might be using in your .45 Colts. Currently I am using Unique. I am not out of it, but might be after loading enough rounds for the next season of shooting.

What else works good?

Abilene:
For what purpose?  My favorite CAS load for .45 pistol is 4.6gr of Clays with a 200gr bullet.  That is Hodgdon's minimum.  Light recoil and empties fall out of the cylinder.  Clays is not available right now, but Clay-Dot is and should be about the same.

Niederlander:
I use Red Dot for everything, because that's what I've had.  It works well.

Sagebrush Burns:
W-231 has been a winner for me.

Trailrider:
W-231, Unique, Hodgdon's Universal (when available).
