years ago i had some reloading info for loading 45 caliber round balls in 45colts cases. i cant seem to find the data. has anyone ever tried this?

I haven't, but they used to do it all the time waaay back in the day.

Check the Lyman load manuals they have the info. OK I looked it up for you a 454 round ball these are max loads and the only ones listed Red Dot 4.3 grains for a vel of 536 fps. Unique 6.5 grains 521 fps and SR7625 7.2 grains for 602 fps

thanks jh45. now i know why i couldnt find the info. i let a buddy borrow my lyman book. didnt think to look in it when i was over his house today shooting my new superblackhawk hunter.
