Just got a new pair of Pietta 1873s and the dies to go with them. I understand Bullseye and Power Pistol should work (I have both). I want to use them for plinking fun time and would like to minimize recoil. I have a big 'ole box of 255grn .452 LSWC Keith Type, and some CCI LPPs. What would be a safe lower end load? I see max for both powders on several sites with 250grn but no minimums......
