tahunua001, this is almost a continuation from you other thread.
My normal loading for the .45 is 5.6 gr of 231 for any and all bullets. I see no reason any normal .45 ACP loading wouldn't work.
However, for your theoretical loading, I would stay away from lead. I would go with the heaviest jacketed bullet I could get and work with loading data for the 45 Winchester Magnum. Looking more to the slowest burning powder listed to make the most from the longer barrel. I gain only 124 FPS when going from my 5 inch 1911 barrel to my 16.5 inch Marlin (846 to 970fps). With say the 300 gr jacketed bullet, seating it out to the point that the loaded round would NOT fit into a Magazine (unless you are loading from one). I would mark the loads, a quick dip of the bullet into some red paint or something of the sort.
Working up a load would be a hoot. With the normal LP primers, moving to LR primers for the more progressive pressures.
How is the weather out there? Cooling off any? Bless you and those you are with.
Yep, gona have to start looking for a shot out SMLE for my conversion to 44.
