[QUOTE="J.C. Kerns, post: 1131576, member: 6121"] I've recently been bit by the .45 Colt bug and handloading is very interesting with all that powder capacity. I don't want to "magnumize" my loads, but loadings I get with Herco and 2400 behind a 230 grain LRN bullet just don't get consistent velocities unless I "jack them up". I'm trying for 900 FPS in a 4-5/8" Ruger Blackhawk without going over (or at least not much over) factory pressure levels. What powders give a consistent burn in that large case ? Trail Boss is bulky and not position sensitive, but the manuals show only "Cowboy" loads that are pretty soft. Is it possible that I will have to go to a heavier bullet ? I can do that, but I really like this 230 grain mold I'm using and I want to stay with it if I can. Thanks for any information or advice. J.C. in Duncan [/QUOTE]
