Is it safe/advisable to use the "Lee Loader" kit to reload "Cowboy Action" ammunition? (.45 cal long colt in a steel frame Pietta "1860 Army" and a steel frame "58 Remington" ) Both with brand new just delivered never-been-used Howells conversion cylinders

What substitute powder would be best to use for CA reloads since real-honest-to-gosh black has become so darn hard to come by?

What would be a real good reloading manual (something on the order of "reloading for dummies?) The large type version with words of one syllable or less. (When in doubt or hopelessly confused, in final desperation, as a last resort, READ THE DIRECTIONS!)

Thanks; TomK
