I've been thinking that at some point I'd like to get a conversion cylinder or even better a converted pistol in such as a '60 or a '58. My question is how hot can you load a 45 colt conversion? Cowboy only or can I go up to original specs of about 250/255gr at about 900/1000 fps? I really wouldn't be too interested if I have to stick with cowboy only loads.
Thanks
