Agreed, I normally load my 60 Army & 58 New Armies with 30-35gr. FFFG & a 144gr. .457 Ball & that produces a pretty decent punch with an OK recoil, I've yet to find a conical that would load worth a darn to shoot as accurately as Ball.

I do not have a .45 Colt but I do have a .44-40 Colt 2nd gen that I shoot on occasion with 35gr. FFFG & it's a sweet feeling & a straight shooter.
