45 Long Colt · January 3, 2006, 09:04 PM

Good thread here.

I have 500 230 grain lead round nose bullets a buddy gave me. My usual bullet for the .45 Colt is a 200 grain lead semi-wadcutter.

Do any of you have a recommendation for how much Unique gunpowder to put under that bullet? I like mid range loads, as I just plink with the cowboy gun after I've shot the .357.

My antique manual doesn't give a receipe.
