See my reply to Bullseye or Unique? Instead of Alliant, go to Winchester Powder Company (confusingly, this used to be Winchester, was then named Olin, and is now Win again).

You will find an interactive reloading manual there, which can also be downloaded in .pdf format.

It contains loads for the .454 Casull. Curiously, there are two loads given for each bullet weight, each a few grains apart, and the powder used is 296. This powder used to be described as safe to use only as listed, with only one load given per bullet weight. Apparently Olin/Win has had second thoughts. They make the powder for Hodgdon, and H-110 and W-296 have suspiciously close burning rates. H-110 is supposed to be reduced only 3% from maximum; perhaps they applied this technique to 296. I don't know.

Hope this helps, Walt
