I usually reload 45 colt cases with black powder, but I have an old can of Unique smokeless that I would like to use up. It's the older dirty stuff, so it's not really like I'll be using a totally smokeless powder :barf:. I have the load data for cowboy action with this stuff but I have some concerns. I will be shooting these loads in an R&D conversion cylinder for my 58 rem replica. R&D only recommends using Black Hills smokeless cowboy action ammo. Anybody else reload with smokeless and use them in their R&D cylinder? Better yet, anybody using Unique??
