.45 Colt smokeless powder
Coffinmaker:
:) Well Heck ;)
I'm no help atall. I haven't loaded an actual .45 Colt case in a couple Lustrum. Closest I have come is fire forming 44-40 to .45 and then loading with APP (I KNOW, not smokeless). Only load I have is for Cowboy 45 Special cases. No Help.
Keep Safe Out There

I have some HP38. Isn't that pretty much the same as W-231?

Dave T:
On those rare occasions when I need a smokeless 45 Colt round, like for my smokeless framed USFA revolvers, I use the Winchester recommended factory duplication load. That's 7.1g 231 under a 250-255g lead bullet. Winchester claims 850 fps but do not specify what barrel length and it's been so long since I set up my chronograph I've never checked it. Something I should do one of these days.
