I own a BH 45 convertible and have played with some "revolver only" loads with the 45ACP cylinder and had what I thought was good success. I was able to reach mid power 45 Colt velocities with 230 grain RN hard cast lead. 45 ACP components are a lot easier to find and cheaper to reload for.

Accuracy seemed to be good but I was not in conditions to do any real accuracy testing. I did like the satisfying feel of shooting them and plan on loading up some more.

Hope this helps!
